Are you sure that user space runs before the resume image is loaded? I know 
that initrd could do that but as far as I see, if you supply the resume 
option to the kernel cmdline, the kernel will take care of resuming before 
initrd userspace does it - which should pretty well circumvent your problem.

BTW: I'm using the resume= option and had no problem with hibernation. It 
seems to work fine.
