Just to clarify a bit more, this was asked on Ask Ubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/q/244323/88802) and it seems an issue still valid for current Ubuntu releases.

Steps to reproduce:

 - Start a regular desktop environment.
 - Configure the laptop "closing lid" action to suspend the machine.
 - Shut the system down using the regular "Shut Down" procedure in the GUI.
 - Close the lid while the system is still in the procedure of shutting down.

What happens?

 - The system is suspended in a shutting-down state.
 - Resuming the system returns to the state it was suspended and the shut down procedure is continued.

What do we expect to happen instead?

 - The system to ignore this closing-lid action, or:
 - Ignore all suspend requests together

It makes no sense to me to have a system allow to go in a suspend state while shutting down.
