This only applies to hibernation and only when we're going to restore from the image the presumably hasn't been saved yet, right? However, there's another problem I didn't think of before. Namely, we cannot thaw tasks before resuming devices in case we've already suspended them, because that will defeat the very purpose of the freezing in the first place.
