TuxOnIce definitely doesn't support hibernating to a fuse filesystem, and I don't believe swsusp does either. When you say "I can't do suspend now", do you mean suspend to RAM? For suspend to RAM, I'd expect it to fail and back out nicely in the worst case. From what you write, it sounds like that's not happening. If I'm right in thinking that you're talking about suspend to ram and this is what is happening, would you be able to get more lines of dmesg than the above? (Something like vga=2 on the boot commandline IIRC)? Don't worry about writing down timings - just the stuff after "Considering..." would do - or a digital camera picture if it's clear enough.
