The problem persists after sorting the oddity with the unity-settings-
daemon, which appears to have been a one-off problem. (See bug #1577906
for more detail.)
Now I find that suspend only works if "HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend" is
in logind.conf.
Without that I return to the bug condition.
In the bug condition suspend works fine from the session indicator.

fine.
