I'm afraid you are victim of a wrong assumption.

I had a similar discussion with somebodyelse on either this list or
maemo-devel.

Canola _did_ break sleep. You can search the archives.

Before returning your unit you should reflash it with a stock image and
check if the problem persists.

We do test all the sw that we ship but it takes very little to ruin the
uptime when writing code for the tablet.
