if it is so simple to for pm-utils to fix it why not do it? Crashing a system just because it may affect only less than 1% of Linux users is inexcusable. > ....

There's a simpler solution to this afaics it is not documented anywhere and fixing it is easier than documenting it. There is nothing that is obviously risky about overwriting an image in /boot. Also it is not necessarily the same user who hits the hibernate button who did regenerate the kernel image.
