I can confirm that this is still a problem on Oneiric Ocelot. I'm running 64-bit version on an HP Pavilion dv3t. Any information you for further troubleshooting, let me know.

Thanks!

I have the same problem on an HP G61 laptop, with ubuntu 11.10 64-bit version. It is really annoying when suspending on power and afterwards un-suspending on battery, only to face a forced shutdown. As a result I have to reboot to continue. It is a bug of great importance for the usability of the unsuspend on battery.
