this worked without problem. i routinely invoke /usr/sbin/pm-suspend-hybrid
manually, and that works fine, though i'm not entirely sure what exactly that
calls.

i should probably be clear that previous to upgrading the kernel, all closing
the lid did was turn off the screen; the computer continued to run.
downgrading to the older kernel continues to behave that way.

(this is a different machine and different symptoms than what i reported in
#595187)

given all that, does it make sense to try troubleshooting suspend/resume 
further?
