I am always glad to know new things. Hibernate anws suspend have similar
functions in that a system state is saved on a disk or in RAM. Google
"Linux hibernate" and it seems clear that when the machine is started
the state of the system, is restored to what it was before hibernation
or suspension. If  Grub does not check if a state was saved then
hibernation is worthless and I have learned something. To me what you
describe is just plain crazy.
