I believe one of the main reasons for switching away to the text-display is
to handle the fact that many of the X drivers do not cope with suspend.

Yes, file it;  It's a bug in the sense unsuspend is not being detected.
Presumebly what should happen is to detect the unsuspend has occured (even
if there's no ACPI event generated by the hardware) and generate it by hand.
