have you tried adding the "distrib =true" request parameter when building the suggester ? It should be by default, but trying explicitly won't harm.
I think nowadays the suggester component is Solr Cloud compatible, I have no chance to test it right now but it should just works. Worst case you can proceed debugging a bit if anything interesting is in the logs. Give it a try!
