I looked into this once and I'd like to give people a bit more
background from my point of view:

Yes, kmod fails for the swsusp2 kernel from http://mhensler.de/swsusp/.
But that's not directly a bug/problem in kmod. kmods would work if the
swsusp2 kernel would be packaged exactly in the same way as the FC
kernels are packaged. But that's not the case.
