I see it is a feature. Maybe it's not configured correctly? Also, the code would have to be hibernation-aware, because it has to push its entire RAM out to backing store before hibernating.

"Maybe it's not configured correctly?"

Could be. I haven't checked with the EasyPeasy people yet. I am using all defaults, though.
I did notice that the priority of /dev/ramzswap is being set to 100. I tried setting the priority of the on-disk swap space higher than that, but it didn't help with hibernation.
