A way to consistantly reproduce the problem
WARNING: this will most likely cause your MacBook Air (Mid 2013) to hang, requiring a forced restart. Not that it should be a problem, but any non-saved work will be gone.
1. Have the MacBook Air (Mid 2013) running with the display/lid open.
2. Hold down the ”cmd alt/option” keys and press the powerkey (this will cause the MacBook Air to enter sleep mode)…
3. …then immediately after pressing the above keycombo, press random keys on the keyboard in an attempt to wake up the computer.
After the first or a few tries you should have a hanged MacBook Air, i.e. black screen and not responding to keyboard input. Hold down the power key for several seconds to force shut down, then press it again to startup.
The above steps if of course not something you'd normally do, but it's just a way of triggering the (most likely) same problem people experience under more normal usage circumstances.
The issue has been reported to Apple. Hopefully a future Firmware update will solve it.
