After reading through the HAL specification, I noticed that there already is a way to instruct HAL not to pass VBE related options to the pm-utils. It can be done by setting the following properties to false:

sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer --key power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore --bool false
sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer --key power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore --bool false
sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer --key power_management.quirk.vbe_post --bool false

This solved my power management issues in conjuction with the binary Nvidia driver.
I should have RTFM more carefully. Sorry for creating noise on the bug tracker.
