After removing the pm-utils package, i have been using hibernate/thaw with no problems for 2 weeks. I am not certain what problem is caused by pm-utils, but removing it appears to be a solution. I feel that this bug should remain open, however, until the cause of the conflict has been identified, and/or an upgrade path from earlier versions includes a migration of scripts that have been modified by the user from /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d to /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/, or some other more user oriented directory that contains scripts to execute on hiblernate/thaw.
