I had this exact problem on Edgy. I shifted around the partitions on my
disk, deleting my original swap partition and creating a larger one. I
modified the swap entry in /etc/fstab, so the new swap space was mounted
with no problem.

However, hibernate stopped working immediately after. It took me a while
to realize that I had to manually edit the RESUME variable in /etc
/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf (that's the path on Edgy), then run
update-initramfs -u.

I don't know if this should be considered a bug, but it feels like one.
It's feasible to have the hibernate script use the partition in
/proc/swaps by default. This default behavior could still be overridden
by explicitly specifying RESUME= in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.
It certainly would have saved me some time.
