The /etc/powerd/postresume.d/disable_mesh.sh  doesn't work.
My belief is that there is the same problem - race condition between the
'echo 0' script, and NetworkManager. This causes the NetworkManager to
crash randomly.

Done. Added the 'echo 0' script in 'start()' method of NetworkManager, so
that the effect takes place before NetworkManager starts up. Works like a
charm.

Does not work, as explained above.

Would be awesome. I believe this is the one and only complete solution
possible :)
Could you point me to the suitable (examples) link? I will be heartfully
grateful.
