The hook I have is this,and resume with tuxonice works just fine. I'm
using latest mkinitcpio
(as always)

/lib/initcpio/hooks/resume:
# vim:set ft=sh:
run_hook ()
{
    fmtdevice () { echo "${1}:${2}"; }

    if [ -n "${resume}" ] && poll_device "${resume}" ${rootdelay}; then
        # Try resuming with tuxonice
        tuxoniceroot="/sys/power/tuxonice"
        if [ -d "${tuxoniceroot}" ]; then
            echo ${resume} > ${tuxoniceroot}/resume
            echo > ${tuxoniceroot}/do_resume
        fi

        # Try resuming with vanilla hibernation
        if [ -e "/sys/power/resume" ]; then
            eval $(/bin/parseblock "${resume}")
            fmtdevice ${BLOCKDEVICE} > /sys/power/resume
        fi
    fi
}

I don't remember if I hacked this hook somewhat or it's vanilla
