I am also affected by this (or at least a very similar) bug on a Sony VAIO VPCEA laptop on kernel 3.0.0-14-generic (oneiric).

After the display blanks (e.g. if `xset s blank` is set), the laptop display is corrupted (pink and white vertical stripes) after resuming. An externally connected monitor turns back on correctly.

I can manually trigger by running `sleep 1 && xset dpms force off`
Running `xset dpms force off` (without the sleep) causes the display to cycle off and back on quickly, upon which it recovers correctly.

lspci lists the video card as:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
