I reported the problem (with wicd and system logs) several months
ago:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637267
I don't know what's going on exactly, but from the logs, it seems
that when suspending, the connection is ended (as expected), but
then, wicd tries to reconnect, and this may interrupt the suspend.
