Chrome extension onSuspend is never called

I develop Chrome extension.

I try to add event listener to chrome.runtime.onSuspend, but it is never called.

I use the following code, but localStorage is not modified and there is no log messages in the console also (I use --enable-logging --v=1 to save log messages to the file).

chrome.runtime.onSuspend.addListener(function() {
  localStorage["suspend"] = new Date();
  console.log("On suspend");
});

Test box: WinXP SP3 x86 with Chrome 28.0.1500.72 m

I've created test extension to easily reproduce this issue:

manifest.json

{
  "manifest_version": 2,

  "name": "Chrome onSuspend test",
  "version": "1.0",

  "background": { 
    "scripts": ["background.js"] }
}

background.js

chrome.runtime.onSuspend.addListener(function() {
  localStorage["suspend"] = new Date();
  console.log("On suspend");
});
