Probably because the journald process (like all other userspace processes)
had already been frozen when those messages were written to dmesg, so it
couldn't really receive them.

Yes, as the _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP field. (It's stored in
microseconds, while dmesg shows it in seconds.)

journalctl -o json _TRANSPORT=kernel | jq -r
'"[\(._SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP | tonumber / 1000000)] \(.MESSAGE)"'

Note that the kernel uses the monotonic clock for dmesg messages, which
does not advance at all while the system is suspended -- so trying to
convert it to realtime will often give wrong results (the same problem as
in 'dmesg -e') unless you do something smart with combining it with
journald's __REALTIME_TIMESTAMP.
