sadly I found out, that my suspend successes where with Linux 2.6.8, but 
none the less, it works the same with 2.6.9, as well as with 2.6.9 patched 
with swsusp-2.1.1
Regarding stability I had a bit more luck with the vanilla-kernels - so 
one time with swsusp 2.1.1 I could not revive the screen. finaly I 
logged-in through the network and issued a "shutdown -r now". As the X was 
going down, the virtual-console did show up again. So maybe I had the bad 
luck, that the keyboard did hang then. I sometimes needed to change to a 
virtual-console, or back to X to get a restored screen, but sometimes it 
worked without doing anything.
I tryed today Linux-2.6.10-rc1 (without Swsusp-2.1.1). To get the 
prorietary Nvidia-driver compiled, you may want to apply the attached 
patch nv-2.9.10-rc1-incl-haggis.diff. I did not try, to have only the 
changes needed for 2.6.9- 2.6.10-rc1 (which is the other attached patch). 
Don't even know, if the compiler likes it. Both patches are aginst the 
Nvidia-driver...
But for me, I could not get the machine going down to suspend. It shutdown 
the screen, and then sit there as long as you let it. By issuing some ACPI 
event, I always got it back to live, e.g. lid-switch, power-button ...

So besides the problem described in 
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3669, that the laptop does no long 
poweroff, since 2.6.9, S4 as such broke for me with 2.6.10-rc1.
