As reported on -current, I used to have this problem, but it seems to
have been fixed with the latest BIOS update (T61):

Before the BIOS update, C3 caused similar lock ups in syscons when
running on battery (it did work in X). When on AC, there has never been
any problem.

I made available some information (dmesg, kernel config, acpi dump,
dev.cpu and hw.acpi sysctls) in the hope the provide something usefull.
