The PMU backlight code would kick in during sleep/resume even on machines that use a different backlight method. This appears to break sleep on my PowerBook, though I can't test that patch at the moment as the machine died while I was bisecting.
So if anybody around has one of those latest revision PowerPC PowerBooks, the one just before they went to Intel, and have a problem with suspend/resume, please test this and let me know if it helps.
