I can confirm this -- 7.04 (Feisty, fresh *install* from the *alternate* CD) on a Thinkpad R40:

As the original poster writes: From choosing "System>Quit>Hibernate"

1. Screen Blanks
2. Sleep light starts blinking
3. X11 returns
4. Screen-saver password prompt

I found out that my swap wasn't used:

$ swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority

That was all -- but I have a swap partition!

Then I found out that I had exactly the same problem as in bug 90526: the UUID of the swap partition as given by "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" didn't match the UUID of the swap partition in /etc/fstab. I replaced the UUID in /etc/fstab with the one found with "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/", and after that, suspend to disk (a.k.a. hibernate) works. Now I'm waiting for the next routine run of fsck to see if it breaks again.
