:-(  Looks like the fix is only in 3.3 then.  From the commit logs, I
suspect commit f62b27db6b5479efe376b408802a081a834ef50e¹ is the one
containing the fix, but 

- The patch does not apply on 3.2, so one or several other commits might
  need to be cherry-picked in addition to it.

- I cannot reproduce your problem on my hardware.

If you insist on working hibernation, your best bet is currently to
build 3.3-rc3 yourself.  Would you be willing to test that?

Cheers,
       Sven
