I've never used it, so just an idea, but there is sysctl 
kern.suspend_blocked that being set to 1 seems should block suspend 
requests.  You may try to set it and see what happen.

It is not a screen blank.  Gnome site tells:

Does the system suspends if you do not start Gnome?  For example if you 
boot into single-user mode and leave the system there?  It would be the 
easiest test probably.
