Interestingly, I can suspend from tty:

 1. ctrl-alt-f1
 2. fn+f1
 3. ctrl-alt-f7
 <at this point, it goes ahead and hibernates>
 4. wait for it to finish shutting off, then click power button
 5. grub screen appears with choice of kernel to boot; let it timeout and use the default
 6. prompts to login; fill it in
 7. resumes the previous session correctly.

So the basic key handling seems to be in place, but something (X I guess) appears to be hijacking the key.
