Research direction

Start with the Awake utility and reproduce the reported behavior using “Continue using the selected power saving combination,” checking whether the system suspends after the configured 5/15 minutes and then wakes unexpectedly. A useful fix should explain or prevent the random wake-up while preserving the selected power-saving settings; the bug report ZIP may be needed for diagnosis.
