Thanks for the report, I'll whip a fix up right now.

As a temporary solution until you get the new version (after it releases) in your distribution, you can edit the 55wicd sleep hook to do something like this:

wicd_suspend()
{
 # Put wifi interface down
 /usr/lib/wicd/suspend.py 2>/dev/null
        return $NA
}

wicd_resume()
{
 # Bring wifi interface back up
 /usr/lib/wicd/autoconnect.py 2>/dev/null
        return $NA
}
