The same problem manifests itself with Edgy too. I'm hoping that Xorg
7.2.1, to be shipped with Feisty, contains a fix.

Also, please note that your work-around of using the vesa instead of
the i810 driver might work with suspend, but will *drastically* reduce
performance. The vesa standard is implemented through the video card's
bios and offers no acceleration whatsoever (OpenGL, 2D, xvideo). I'd
rather have no suspend than 1995-era video card performance.

So, at the moment, it's a matter of waiting for new Xorg releases, or
trying different git branches posted on
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/ .
