Just added Xscreensaver to the list of "possible candidates" as per comment #22. Seems interesting because XFCE does indeed use Xscreensaver and possibly the bugs on the duplicates list for older Ubuntu versions prior to 12.04 are due to Xscreensaver being used by default on Ubuntu systems then. This would also possibly explain why the bug affects so many different video drivers and card types.

I reinstalled Ubuntu and the Xubuntu desktop, and somehow I am no longer getting that error, but now whenever I suspend and resume Xubuntu, the whole desktop is darkened as if there's a layer of semi-transparent black over everything. The mouse cursor is still completely white, so I know it's not a monitor brightness issue. If I suspend and resume again, it's twice as dark, as if there are now two semi-transparent black layers over the screen. When I restart or log out and back in again, it's back to normal until I suspend again. It doesn't happen every time I suspend--just most of the time. I have no idea what package this is actually a problem with. It may have something to do with XFCE. I tried killing and restarting metacity and that didn't help, and neither did killing the screensaver.
