Well, I just hibernated windows xp , sp3, latest updates as of this morning.
I powered up and I get the grub boot locader menu instead of booting 
directly into windows.
So, windows does not do anything to the boot loader to force the reboot 
to automagically
boot windows.

Yes, if you are only hibernating Linux and rebooting.

If you have dual boot (windows and linux), then hibernate windows
and reboot and see if you get the grub boot menu or not.
