Sorry, called too early. It seems to be that hibernating corrupts the swap partition. With a working swap, hibernation simply powers down the computer, and after starting it again, swap is corrupt, so hibernation just cycles straight back to X. Attaching dmesg of the startup after a hibernation-powered-down-and-corrupted-my-swap-cycle.
