I've recently been seeing this symptom as well. Same Debian release, ATI RS880 video. Maybe 10% of the time, when returning from video suspend, the screen contents come up for approximately a second and then the monitor goes blank. Switching to a text VT and back fixes the issue. Only seems to be triggered on startup and return from power saving mode. > Oh, one more tidbit: this is an amd64 installation.
