I just had the time to look into this. Analyzing journalctl in an AppVM
I saw the line:

Jul 22 18:45:04 work qrexec-agent[6750]: executed root:QUBESRPC
qubes.SuspendPreAll dom0 pid 6753

A quick web search yielded this Github issue:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1663


TL;DR: I haven't tested it yet but it seems placing the PRE- and
POST-suspend files in /etc/qubes/suspend-pre.d/ and
/etc/qubes/suspend-post.d/ should do the trick.


Regards,
Phil
