(Get the code!)
Still no resolution of this problem. I have used kernel 3.8.0 under ubuntu 13.04 and am now using kernel 3.7.9 under archlinux.
Can boot both OK, using 'nomodeset'. But both still resume to the wrong screen. The log tells me that the kernel, when it starts to sleep, tries to save state with 'vbetool'. That shows an error, no card detected. On resume I suppose there is no info available to allow radeon module to set correct screen; it defaults to wrong video screen and all terminals are black. However, the terms do accept keyboard input.
I believe this is a kernel module problem; not an xorg module problem. It affects terminals not running X (and those running X as well).
