Ahah. Having poked around this some more I think I have a workaround
in my case.

It turns out some system-level thing was running "light-locker" on my
behalf, which I suspect was the process that locked the screen in a
broken way. If I

 $ apt-get remove light-locker

then I can freely suspend the machine without issue.

Of course, this doesn't solve the problem for anyone who actually
*does* want to use light-locker, but at least I personally now have a
solution.

Bug#781288: Fails also with xdm

[Paul "LeoNerd" Evans]

I'm using a plain xdm, rather than lightdm and I suffer the same issue.

I'm afraid I can't apply the workaround in Message #20, as I don't
appear to even have xfce4-power-manager running. If I try to open the
settings for it, the dialog pops up asking

  "Xfce4 Power Manage is not running, do you want to launch it?"

The behaviour is the same if I let it, or don't.
