It is still an issue in 12.04! After an update several days ago my Dell E6520 with the intel CPU built in graphics does not suspend when an external display is attached and I close the lid. It suspends from the power menu and also on lid close id there is no external display attached. Before the update suspend on lid close worked fine even if an external display was attached. Unfortunately I can not tell which upgrade is responsible for the change, but I can tell, that I reboot the mashine every weekend and I upgrade every 2-3 days. That's why I think the upgrade responsible for the change arrived in the last week, somewhere between 2012.05.21-2012.05.28.
