It definitely does ignore them.

Sorry, I didn't check "pm-suspend", so I stand corrected.


The setuid bit approach could still be used by writing a tiny C program
that does nothing but execute the script, having it owned by root, and
using the setuid bit for it - but this is a road which not everybody
will use.
