Hibernation does involve swapping everything in memory to disk,

But, the system being powered down does not mean that no part of the
system is receiving power. In fact, Wake On LAN technology is
designed to work on machines that are completely shut down - the
only caveat is that the motherboard reserves power for the network
card, and the network card scans for a particular magic packet
addressed to it. If that packet shows up, the computer turns itself
back on.
This would be the first time that I've ever heard of this. Forgive me
for saying but do you have a reference?

Sorry but that's a reference to "wake on lan" and from the article:
Check "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby"
Again - standby != hibernate.
Hmmm... Seems there is a way to do this as showing in
http://hibernate.qarchive.org/downloads.html
I stand corrected.
