I can also confirm this bug, kinda! The description of what happens is exactly the same; a sheet of black across the screen when I come out of suspend (lift laptop lid). The difference for me is that it is totally random, or seems that way. There is no way I can replicate it intentionally.

When this happens I can see enough to close all apps and logout. This gives a bit of a flash as if the screen is kicking into gear again and when I get to the login screen all is back to normal. I login and all is fine. Until the random anomoly eventually occurs again, as it does/will, in a day, a few, a week.

It happens maybe one in ten times when I open the lid. But the problem is the same. Adjusting brightness does nothing to remedy the issue.
