https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597189
is an interesting read. If the bug is due to vt switching, this might
explain the weird behaviour when uswsusp is installed.
If uswusp is installed, s2ram is used for suspend-to-ram in pm-utils.
s2ram does handle the vt switching itself, and
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video is disabled when
/usr/lib/pm-utils/module.d/uswsusp is used.

So the timing of the vt switches is different depending on whether
uswsusp is installed or not.

Hope that helps to narrow down the bug.
