Depending on your usage of the SD card you could also workaround the issue 
with a few symlinks. When the card is wrongly mounted just add symlinks to 
the new location of the content of the card in /media/card/. Once you did 
that /media/card will either contain the contents of the card (before 
suspend) or valid symlinks to the content of the card (after suspend) which 
works just as well.

To succesfully use this you should make sure the contents of the root 
directory of your card don't change, and it's no good when you are switching 
cards all the time. But when your card contains just a few directories in the 
root (like mine) it works perfectly.
