I forgot to note that I can restore the brightness after a suspend with "echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/samsung/brightness"

Not just restore, laptop's Fn brightness keys stop working too. Sony Vaio VPCEH2L1R.

Same problem here (samsung R480, GeForce GT 330M). Looks like an upstream bug.

Nvidia usually provides pretty decent support in their forum.
Has this been reported to the nvidia developers?

sadly, nvidia devs do not lurk anymore in that forum. you need to report to linux-bugs@nvidia.com
