You're not putting energy into the wheel from the suspension when the wheel falls into a hole. Gravity accelerates it into the hole. You expend forward moment and power from the engine to pull it out. The suspension recovers energy from both strokes. Not a whole lot, but enough of a percentage (one hopes) to make it worth doing so.
