As of today all publicly known workarounds (changes in policy file) for this *BUG* stopped working for me on Ubuntu 13.10. So no hibernation in UI any more. Manual entries in /etc/acpi/* (event and script calling pm-hibernate) do work.

I think this solution is more scalable, as we do not need to maintain a database with "certified" hardware. Also, we can add a button or a informative text when suspend/hibernate doesn't work to guide the users about what to do.
