Bug Description

 Steps to reproduce:
 - add required policy file for enabling hibernation: http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation
 - reboot, verify that "Hibernate" is available as menu item in the system/power menu
 - make sure, that you have swap partition at least of your PC RAM size
 - select "Hibernate" in system/power menu
 - make sure, that system is hibernating/resuming correctly
 - open power settings, set "When power is critically low":"Hibernate"
 - wait until your battery becoming critically low

 What should happens:
 - hibernation as soon as you see "Your battery is critically low" notify-osd message

 What really happens:
 - power shutdown: not restart/reboot, nor correct system shutdown - just like someone cut off battery

 Not working workarounds:
 - enabling/disabling "use-time-for-policy" option using dconf-editor

 I'm getting ready to provide any helpful additional information to fix this nasty bug, since that just drive me crazy.
