I believe *maybe* this isn't an issue any more,
Fresh install, disabled auto lockscreen
Let screen blank, woke up
While it didn't go directly to Desktop it didn't go to a security lockscreen. Went to that lockscreen image?, then pulling up showed the desktop.

As far as suspend, it always goes to the security lockscreen but maybe that's intended behavior.?
