Yes, in Lucid it's solved, even with activated KMS (Grub-Line i915.modeset=1 activated) standby and hibernation working proberly. But, like you said, with any newer kernel (Vanilla and built from the Ubuntu-git-tree) which has e.g. the possibility for video playback on an Intel 855GM-chip, video playback works again flawlessly but the old-known bug with the standby-mode occurs again. And, hibernation still works, hibernation seems to work on a different way than standby does.
I've got a little bit these two patches I read about a few times in context to the video-playback-bug in Lucid with activated KMS in suspicion, but I ain't a developer, this was just an idea what could be responsible for this bug's "rebirth" in the kernels 2.6.33 and above.
But in summary, like I said, I tried the Vanilla-Kernels *32,*33,*34 and *35 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and built for myself the same versions from the Ubuntu-git-tree, but with none of them I got a working standby-mode.
Maybe also useful for (finally) fixing this bug, with the vanilla kernel 2.6.32 standby also didn't (!) work, but with the Ubuntu-git-tree version it worked. This was the cause getting me to compile 2.6.33 and so on from the Ubuntu-git-trees, but it didn't make any change =/
And another point, I can't really remember where, but I read about a week before in some forums that in Fedora 13 this issue is not present AND video playback is working. I would be glad to know if that's correct so maybe the Ubuntu-developers could get a benefit form knowing that, at the moment I can't afford the time to repartitionizing my hard drive and to test Fedora.

And guys, a little bit critic with good intentions, as a 'noob' you can't see any progress been made to this topic, is there anyone working on this bug or is it just forgotten? :)
