I can confirm that the feature described in https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html actually works. Bug report can be closed. I quote here for reference: ... (Re)Enable hibernate ... You can also enable the hibernate option in the menus. To do that, use your favorite text editor to create /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla . Add the following to the file and save:
