One issue... if wubildr is only on the target partition then it will
grub4dos fail in some cases e.g. if you install to a partition that falls
after an ext4 partition (the version of grub4dos that wubi uses gets stuck
on these - probably a more recent version of grub4dos version would solve
this). This is not likely a problem for typical Wubi users but people that
test Wubi will run into this. You mentioned replacing grub4dos on another
bug - this would resolve that.

Regarding hibernation - if Windows is hibernated it's not possible to boot
Wubi (the windows boot manager boots straight into windows) so that
shouldn't be an issue except perhaps if there are multiple versions of
Windows (not sure how that would work).
