I also have exactly the same bug in Intrepid amd64 when using swapfile instead of swap partition.
Unfortunately, swap file is the only option to use on a tripple-boot MacBook/Pro (Ubuntu, Mac OSX, WinXP). Long story short, individual limitations of GRUB, Mac OSX, WinXP and EFI conspire against using any extended partitions, limiting to 4 MBR partitions, one of which is taken by GUID/GPT/EFI partition. That leaves no swap partition. I hope use case on MacBook/MacBookPro will raise priority of the bug. Just my 2 cents: It looks like the disk is removed before the memory image has been written. It smells like a race condition. Perhaps, somewhere in the kernel/PM code there is a check for not removing or postponing removal of a swap partition, but for partition with swap file there is no such check. Ubuntu is not alone here - cross to Red Hat Bug #466408 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466408).
