Well, when suspending the system to disk the following happens:

1. system is "stopped"
2. a "snapshot" of current system state is determined and saved to memory
3. part of the system is resumed to be able to write that to disk
4. writing the image to disk
5. powering off

So, in step 3 above, we do have a "resume-while-suspending" step which is
exactly what is broken in this regard. Or was broken, I do not know about
the current status.
