I occasionally get this error (happened three times after I upgraded to 12.04). I can successfully suspend the computer but when I try to come up from the suspend the graphical user interface freezes. I can use Alt+F1 to go to a terminal and I can log into the system without GUI support. I don't know how to recover from this error and ended up hard rebooting the system. I can provide dmesg or log file output during this error.

Some computer information,

sudo lshw -C display;lsb_release -a;uname -a

I had a similar issue - only resume would not work at all after suspend. The LED would Flash on, but the screen would remain blank.

I have filed a bug report here: BUG and would suggest for you to do the same.

There is some documentation available in the Ubuntu Wiki in Troubleshooting go to Suspend: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting

Good Luck!
