I finally found some time to work on this, and I think I have it fixed. Debugging gnome-shell when I hit this bug (note, I could also trigger this bug by allowing the screen to lock, no suspend necessary) I noticed the following backtrace kept happening:

I have disabled lock screen on suspend to try and get around the bug but it obviously hasn't worked. I see a completely black screen with a working mouse cursor. Used Ctrl-Alt-F2 to login at a text terminal and tried to kill gnome- settings-daemon and gnome-shell (doing so has randomly made it work in the past). The gnome-shell process would not kill and I got segfault dmesg errors which are attached.
