I tried suspend the other day and was surprised to find that if you suspended the database while a lock was present it preserved the lock making it stop a copy waiting for the lock to be released. This is on UV 10.1.12. So I'm not surprised that it could cause other problems. You need to get everyone to stop updating and releasing all locks before setting the suspend.
