It eats only 0.7mA in deepsleep, but 6.7mA in sleep (PXA2xx has 2 sleep 
modes), so deepsleep is pretty close to poweroff. Bootloader behaves correctly 
(at least u-boot binary I'm using) - it starts boot process after deepsleep. 
Looks like hardware is somehow configured to disable almost everything in 
deepsleep mode, RAM content is not preserved anyway, so we can't resume 
properly.
