Installing firmware-linux-nonfree fixed this problem.

This was solved by finding the correct setting and enabling it (many
thanks to the Xfce maintainer for explaining this).

If you suspend/resume from the logout dialog, the operation is managed
by xfce4-session, not xfce4-power-manager.  So to have the screen locked
on resume, you need to enable it in the session settings (Advanced
tab).
