I get this same suspend lockup after upgrading to kernel 3.3 under normal use. Backed off to 3.2 and my system returned to normal. Can't trace the specific cause.

Aaron, the kernel freezing on sleep with a unblinking cursor is pretty common, it just means that part of the kernel (a module, or a built-in piece), doesn't suspend properly. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils#Black_screen_with_unblinking_cursor_when_trying_to_suspend. This is specifically a bug report for when not booting from UEFI suspends to ram properly, but when booting from UEFI the suspend to ram freezes with an unblinking cursor.
