yes. See

for details

Never happened for me while switching VT. although I do not do that
regularly... ok -- switched to VT 1 and back (Ctrl-Alt-1 and then
randomly Alt-left/right till reaching X) quite a few times (around 10)
-- no problem. With suspend I think I would have experienced it by
then. Also, may be of relevance:
if X crashes during suspend and I end up again at the kdm login prompt
-- I would still have my 'half-moon' light blinking until I switch to
e.g. VT 1 -- then it would finally suspend.

happened originally with KDE4 + awesome... now it is XFCE + awesome --
the same story

my ~/.xsession has
awesome &
sleep 3
xfce4-session

It is reproducible on around 5-10th occasion on random -- never yet
tried to cause it on purpose -- I thought to give it excessive
troubleshooting one day... if I get a moment I will run it through
valgrind... although if it is some kind of a race condition between
threads, it might not get triggered
