I've had the same reports, so far as I know without the ck patches, and also 
in artsd....

To which another user replied:

I am seeing this with the fglrx (commercial ATI) driver version 8.20.8.

A third user:

One person said these were happening before they'd ever suspended, so I don't 
believe it's suspend2 related.
