It sounds like it is using the BIOS hibernation, and not the Linux
save-to-disk. So the BIOS is doing a restore directly, and you never
hit Grub. While this is what most people probably want, it isn't in
your case. I have not looked that deeply into how FC5 is handling
suspend, so I can not tell you what scripts need to be changed.
Hopefully someone else that has dug into this will pop in here. If
not, I'll see what I can find, but it will be a while.
