I can confirm this bug, it seems that nvidia is boikoting ubuntu ;) as 11.04 is

DBO on IRC thought they had an instance of this bug, but turned out in
their case to be caused by overlay-scrollbar, which appears to be

This means your computer locks the screen before it goes to suspend. I

Do you have ia32-libs installed? If so, try temporarily uninstalling it
