Yes, seeing this too on 15.10 since around the first week of March, as best I can tell, but irrespective of Suspend.

It looks like dhclient thinks/is told the new lease is 'depreferred' and therefore quits, and the dhclient process is terminated, but the address remains on the interface until the valid-lifetime expires.
