I think you have molly-guard installed?
Yes, I do. I don't know what pulled it in. I didn't even know it was a
separate package. I have now purged it and reinstalled pm-utils.
pm-action is documented to iterate through /etc/pm/sleep.d. Does your
system have something in that directory put there by molly-guard?
No.
The following change fixed it:

This encodes specific knowledge of molly-guard into pm-utils. Would
it not be better if molly-guard somehow declared how to "suspend" it?
I agree the patch makes no sense, given that molly-guard is an separate
package. pm-utils works fine as is. This is a molly-guard bug. Perhaps they
could patch pm-action in postinst, if they cannot find a better way...
