Another 'vote,' to advise that this de-featuring has crept through related gnome-power-preferences options, not just lid-closing:

Some desktop keyboards feature overly-prominent "Suspend" buttons.
The "Do nothing" option has disappeared for suspend button behavior as well.
Sometimes "Suspend" still does not work and it's helpful to be able to avoid foot-shooting until there's time to debug it properly.

It looks like you've bisected this already, but re: the Suspend option, somehow I have two systems cdromupgrade'd to 9.10, one ('CD-only') still offering "Do Nothing", the other (all updates through December 1, 2009) not. I'm not in front of them to check version numbers, but locally machines with 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 all lack it.

[Suspend trouble is a failure to resume on HP Compaq SR1611NX desktops, using the "HP" A8AE-LE "Amberine" motherboard with no added hardware for those who care.]
