I solved my problem by adding RAM -
there was 512MB, and I added 1GB.
After this, to my surprise, hibernation worked again.
So it seems the cause was a shortage of memory.
I'm rather surprised, as I have (and had) 2GB swap space.
That is certainly surprising since hibernation saves the state of the
system to a disk file. Now if it was suspend it would make sense that
adding RAM would be helpful.
