Public bug reported:

If I close the screen on my laptop (Thinkpad W530) the system will freeze.
Nothing functions at all, including reisub.
However, the fn/space bar still turns the keyboard backlight on / off; that is working perfectly.
The volume / must buttons still toggle the 'mute' led on/off.
But the screen is frozen, the power button must be held for 5 seconds to power down the system.
There is noting in the logs to indicate anything at all happens after the system hangs, they just... stop.

After doing a hard boot, the system comes back up to grub, and then to a flashing white cursor on a black background.  I've left it at this screen for 45 minutes, and it goes no further.
Doing another power-button force restart, it comes up to a dark gray cursor on a black background.
Doing a force restart from here will allow it to boot normally...  although, about 25% of the time when it boots 'normally', it will take me to a CLI login promt, and then after I log in, it will take me to a GUI login prompt.

When I am finally able to get it rebooted, there is nothing to be found
in the logs that indicate anything was logged at all when it was sitting
at the flashing cursors.

We have 25 W530 and W520 machines, they are all behaving the same way.
