Follow-up and clarification: Timed suspend (e.g. after x hours) works on my system fairly reliably. Suspend from the GNOME GUI does not work ever.
As such, this might be caused by the transition to GNOME. Here is a guess at a cause: to access suspend on the GUI you must now press the ALT key. Possibly this key release is getting processed as a wake-up event? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768176 Title: Unable to suspend computer Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 18.04 fails to suspend if a window is open - it merely goes to the lock screen with a message that 1 process could not be stopped. [Side note - this behaviour disregards that I have the lock screen disabled in Privacy settings.] I closed Chrome and a terminal window to reveal the second behaviour: When suspend is selected (through power icon) the computer power momentarily stops (under a second) then the computer returns to the lock screen after a pause. Suspend worked very consistently on this hardware on 16.04 LTS in all situations. No changes have been made to the hardware since (long before) upgrade to 18.04.
