For reference I tried booting the latest mainline kernel, and apart from screwing up unity (see bug 1215828) it suspended once, then failed to resume. There was a reason I started using the nvidia driver, and that is because the nouveau one fails to resume. So testing on that won't be possible.
I am expecting that a live cd will have a similar problem, so don't know if testing it will be feasible.
