Well, I suppose it could be the pm-suspend video hook that's causing
the problems, although most of the action should be skipped if you've
got intel graphics using kernel modesetting. You can try to blacklist
the whole hook. Something like:

echo 'HOOK_BLACKLIST=99video' > /etc/pm/config.d/no-video
