Same issue here, now I could use this feature as the resume function now works 
(issue with grub-pc).
ubuntu 11.10
Linux Amilo-M7405 3.0.0-16-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 14 12:49:42 UTC 2012 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

screen opened:
cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state
state:      closed

screen closed (with a small magnet on keybord side, to keep keyboard access, 
backlight goes off, fan & hdd keep spinning, sleep led won't enlight)
then issueing up arrow key then enter, when removing the magnet backlight comes 
back, doesn't ask password, and terminal shows a new line :
cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state
state:      closed

sleep works either with menu user/shutdown/sleep and Fn+F1
sleep also works the same way in Windows + when closing the lid.
