I don't use a swap partition, so can't say anything about hibernate.
Thankyou for sharing your settings, here are the diffs from yours and mine. Maybe someone can spot if there's any fatal differences:
/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
That file is equal to yours. It seems to get changed to default on every update?,
so now I also have
PMMethod=auto
I'll keep it to see if it does change the frequent of needed un/installs.
diff -w slet /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
