Your first assumption is correct, but your following statement is wrong - pushing the power button is the equivalent of "putting the CPU to sleep", it does not just turn the screen off (there's a separate way to do that). The only thing I can think of is that there's a fault in the way Toshiba implemented software initiated suspend.
