I don't think there is any bug in the code.  The problem lies in the 
devices; they appear to be designed so as to lose some input events 
when waking up from suspend.  This is very common among keyboard and 
mouse devices -- probably because autoresume was not used under Windows 
and hence didn't get tested.

Hence my advice is, as you guessed, "Don't do that".
