If you're really worried about it, mount your ext3 filesystems with data=journal in the options, and you'll be much better off. Worst case, the last batch of changes won't be committed to the filesystem, but your filesystem will always be consistent.
Thinking about it some more, if you're using a system which you suspend/resume frequently, I'd strongly suggest doing full-scale journaling for all your filesystems. Even my Mac systems sometimes fail to resume properly (okay, maybe once every 4-5 months for my personal experiences), so filesystem journaling is a good thing.
Then again, all the data I really care about is in about three or four places, anyway.
