Had a look at ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/stndalhd.txt?

Limitations:
- Hibernation function does not work when OS/2 Boot Manager is
installed.
- Hibernation function does not work with NTFS/HPFS file systems.
- Hibernation by hibernation partition is not supported.
Please do not select item 1. Create partition on this
diskette.

I guess the third item could be the reason of the "misbehaviour" itself being
caused by the "unordered" partitioning/partition numbering. IIRC hibernation
shall work, I read something related a while ago (but can't remember any
details anymore, sorry). Maybe you find something useful on
http://linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html
