Ok, I don't know the hibernation code at all but let me give it a try:

how about teach the piece that parses

$ echo suspend > /sys/power/disk

to make a note to self that we're doing the hibrid hibernation method
and then the function that prints the progress indicator to be let known
of the aforementioned self-note so that it doesn't do any output?

Purely hypothetical, of course.
