I see now that it fails to suspend after all. The patch i've committed
does add the option to suspend, and gnome-control-center correctly
updates the setting in dconf. The critical power level notification also
tells that the machine is going to "suspend very soon". But the machine
shuts down instead of suspending. It seems this is related to bug
#160200, and the underlaying issue is probably in acpi.
As for now, all other options than "shut down" seems useless.

Title:
No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The gnome-control-center power UI offers 2 options for "When power is
critically low": Hibernate and Power Off. There should be a 'Suspend'
option as well, for a couple reasons:
1) Some people (like me) want their computer to suspend when it reaches a
critical low-battery state
2) We offer 'Suspend' as an option for the lid closed action, so we should
offer it as a critical battery option for consistency
(Note that neither hibernate nor power off is selected by default in
the "When power is critically low" combobox on a fresh install.
Instead the combobox has no selection at all. This is probably a
separate bug)
To reproduce:
1) Launch the Power settings app
1a) Observe the "When power is critically low" combobox; nothing is selected
2) Click the "When power is critically low" combobox
Expected results:
Suspend is an option for critical-battery action
Actual results:
Suspend is not an option for critical-battery action
