This seems like a bug because it means system state results in unpredictable behavior. There should be a dedicated swap for hibernation, like the pre-allocated hiberfile used by Windows.

you can set it up that way if you prefer, there is a resume= kernel param you can set to a separate file or device. I keep them combined tho because I hardly ever use much swap, and don't have a ton of disk, and if hibernation ever did fail, I can just close some tabs and be fine
