Well this behavior is documented:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/obex-api.txt

But why you want to suspend a transfer that is currently not active? I
expected that the active would be suspended thus suspending the whole
queue since OBEX can only support one at time.

Perhaps if we come up with a use case that benefit from it, maybe it
is valid if we want to be able to suspend transfer after the active,
or deeper in queue, has completed? I would turn it suspended and then
a call to Resume should turn the transfer back to queued so it is
easier to monitor what is going on.
