FWIW, I'm *not* experiencing this. I suspend using powersaved:

$ sudo powersave --suspend-to-disk

which (according to man powersave) "Sends a hibernate (suspend to
disk) request to HAL". I'd always assumed that it uses swsusp but it
turns out I don't have the uswsusp package installed.

Do you get the same problem if you try a different suspend to disk
technique?
