No worries (busy time of year here too).

I'm "assuming" you haven't been using WPA - everything I've read seems
to indicate you'd need a file at:-
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
NOTE: I don't have a machine running Wheezy, and I don't run
NetworkManager - though I'm aware it doesn't seem to use ifconfig.

I've attached a dummy wpa_supplicant.conf - try copying it to
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Then try to hibernate:-
# echo disk > /sys/power/state
Note: it's not necessary to hibernate from the cli, it just reduces the
chances of other factors causing problems, and allows you to see any
output from the command that the gui hibernate function calls
If successful, try connecting to a wireless network that uses WPA, or
WPA2. Or RSN/WPA2/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA w.EAP/RSN-PMKSA etc etc :-/
If that fails then NetworkManager probably does use the .conf file we've
created and it might be necessary to put real information in it (maybe
also to create an entry in /etc/network/interfaces as well).
Please check /var/log for wpa_supplicant output and post here, also the
section of lspci showing your wireless device.
If it fails please post the /var/log/pm-suspend.log (just the output
from that attempt), and /var/log/wpa_supplicant

Summary:- I suspect hibernate is looking for
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and not finding it - so
hibernate fails.
It could be that the content of that file needs to be correct also - for
hibernate to work, and for WPA to work. (if I fix the hibernate I may
break WPA).
Regardless, it does appear that you have found a bug.

During the Persian Gulf war, those intelligence reports would come out:
"Iraq: incredible weapons – incredible weapons."
"How do you know that?" "Uh, well … we looked at the receipts.
But as soon as that check clears, we're goin' in.
What time's the bank open? Eight? We're going in at nine.
