I was unable to get bumblebeed to function at all on quantal (video driver issues in 3.5), so I can't say. I would be surprised if it was different, though. I believe the change that broke things as they stand was in upstart script from the nvidia-current package, and the x-updates ppa is nearly-official packages intended to be put into quantal proper (so saith the ppa blurb). If it isn't broken in quantal right now, it will be when the new drivers hit main.
And yes, I've been running with my proposed edit for at least 50 reboots so far (it's amazing how many times you reboot when testing quirky hibernation...), and the issue hasn't resurfaced.
