I also experience this problem not only when the lid is closed but after the screen goes blank when my laptop is idle for about half an hour. It also happened once when the screensaver was active and moved the mouse to bring the screen alive, and it stopped responding, the screen went black and I had to powercycle to get control again.
I'm using the 2.6.30 kernel from kernel-ppa/mainline and intel driver 2.7.99.901 on Jaunty.
