I thought so, but my recollection is hazy.  I didn't test it for very
long if I did.  I've tried it now and 2.6.31 behaves pretty similarly. 
Sorry for ringing the regression bell.

Firstly the _hibernation_ process hung (after a couple of suspend-to-ram
cycles).

No text on the console (despite using s2disk).  It echoed keypresses and
responds to SysRq keys.  No messages from lockdep or the hung task
detector (after waiting 5 minutes).  SysRq-P said we're in the idle
loop; SysRq-T said both events/0 and hald-addon-input were runnable.

Then suspend-to-ram hung (following a hibernation cycle).  This time it
showed the contents of vt1, but didn't appear to respond to anything
short of SysRq+B.

I guess there's no connection.  That issue seems to be about generally
flickery screens.  I've seen a few rare flickers that might be related. 
But in general nothing bad happens until I try to suspend, and the
badness is in the form of random crashes or hangs.

Also that bug is confirmed to be a regression, and my issue isn't :-).

Many thanks
