Which quirks?  In the normal mode of operation, pm-utils just uses
whatever quirks HAL indicates is needed for the system.

What (if any) quirks is the hibernate script using on the system?

pm-utils normally changes vt to vt63 as the first step in video quirk
handling, and then changes back to whatever the initial vt was upon
resume.

You should probably add those hooks back if you have not done so
already.

Sure -- post your /var/log/pm-suspend.log file fro aftera failed
suspend/resume cycle to the list.
