I'd rather point to the likely-faulty code.

it is likely in or around 
src:kde-workspace/powerdevil/daemon/backends/upower/powerdevilupowerbackend.cpp 
when checking for suspend capabilities with upower from experimental. 

Something in there doesn't properly detect that systemd-shim + logind actually 
can 
let you suspend the machine (and upower 0.99 has delegated it to
logind).

Try do a update of your kde-plasma-desktop across where the internal
on-disk data cache changes (at least every y in x.y.z, and sometimes in
.z releases). The web browser stops working, the email application stops
working, anything that uses the on-disk caches for looking up their
plugins ceases to work.

This is how it has been as long as I've been around.

Here is nothing new.
