I just upgraded my kernel to 2.6.28 and the problem seems to be fixed
for me, too!

I'm using the following from Debian testing:
xorg 7.3
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.3.2

And kernel 2.6.28 from Debian kernel snapshots
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel#snapshots (trunk)

Now to see if suspend works reliably on this new kernel..
