For this matter, I have had success with WORKAROUND-2, and thus I am
able to keep my lock screen on suspend. Not bullettproof, but I rarely
get suspend hangs now.

Do notice that since the time of this bug report, there have been
several kernel updates, so that might also matter. To determine if that
is the case, I'd have to run without any workarounds for a while and
look out for new hang incidents. Have you experienced the suspend hang
with the latest 14.04-kernel in -updates (kernel 3.13.0-36.63) ?

Slightly off topic, but:
Yeah, the current BIOS on this Dell model is obviously buggy. I did send
a complaint to Dell support. The support case was closed after some
dialogue (I ended up downgrading to BIOS A08), but I hope they forwarded
the technical matters to the right people and that a future BIOS version
will have more fixes for both keyboard, touchpad and suspend/resume.
