I'm using pf-sources-3.0.1 with BFS and tuxonice works perfectly, and it did in 2.6.39 too

Are you running 64bit or 32 bit? Stable or ~ arch?
As stated earlier by the OP and myself, 2.6.39_p3 and earlier versions worked fine for me. It's 2.6.39_p4 and 3.0.1 that have issues.
BTW I'm running 32bit ~x86 on this Dell laptop. I find it odd that disabling compression either in the kernel or in the config file works around the problem and that my kernel will fail in to build if I enable lzo instead of gzip to compress the kernel or initramfs. |

32 bit / a godawful mix of stable and ~x86
BTW, I use LZF compressor, not LZO

| Update---- the newest version 3.0.2 is still broken just like the previous two. |

It's fine when it works for you, but you're not using tuxonice with lzo compression, so you won't be hitting this issue.
Someone over at the arch linux forum recently confirmed my assumption that the bfs patch screws up lzo compression:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=980278
In fact, I couldn't even get bfs to work with tuxonice and lzf compression, and did never try without any compression at all.
While this may be a problem specific to lzo compression which is not or at least very seldomly caused when using the cfs, I ran into other problems when having bfs applied, like xfce4-cpu-graph plugin suddenly causing 100% cpu load etc. So, while it would be nice and I'd prefer it very much to the cfs, I believe bfs is not ready for primetime in 3.0 kernels. Let's hope Kolivas' patch for linux-3.1 solves all this. |
