Not only that, I have hibernated Ubuntu, rebooted into an already Hibernated
Windows, hibernated that again, and resumed into the original Ubuntu.

It's actually fairly simple to reserve a swap partition for hibernation
(iirc, create two swap partitions, and don't _mount_ the first
from /etc/fstab, you might need a "resume" boot option, too) - though why
you'd waste it I don't know - but I suspect it can't be done with a _file_
(not using the kernel routines, anyway - some of the alternatives might
work).
