So, how did you suspend the machine in each case ?

Sorry, I should of said suspend to disk. When Windows suspends to disk
their are no flashing leds. When fedora suspends to disk the power led
flashes. Their has to be something in the scripts that does this.

I think Chris hit the nail on the head, instead of hibernate (the term that seems to be in use to replace 'suspend to disk') it seems you suspended to RAM under Linux. You can test this by removing your battery for a few seconds, on booting I imagine it will cold boot in this case, not come back from what was a suspend to a now trashed RAM. If you are right and it is hibernated, then it will come back from hibernate normally even though you removed the battery for a while. The mixup would perfectly well explain why the power light flashes in Linux only, it normally does in suspend to RAM to remind you that you can't leave it in that state too long.
