@Elfy, re #82: I created a new user and tried the suspend actions there.

In this case, when I command suspend, the machine suspends. When I push the power button, I'm taken straight to an unlock screen (no black screen waiting for keypress/mouse movement).

When I close the lid, the machine suspends; when I open the lid, I'm shown the unlock screen, and after unlock I go to the desktop.

I.e., with a new user, everything works as expected. So presumably there's a workaround involving finding whatever is in $HOME/ (~/.config, I guess?) that makes the screen blank.
