    Ok, I found it myself. First, I forgot to mention, that I use the
    powersave package. The complete behavior during suspend and resume is
    implemented by scripts in /usr/lib/powersave/scripts. The solution was
    to disable calling the function grub-once in prepare_suspend_to_disk.

    Sorry to have bothered you.
