Eh, actually, you're correct.  I failed to understand the question properly

The heads will *always* be parked if the ThinkPad did enter a sleep state,
because it will cut power to the disk drive.

The issue is *how* the heads will be parked: gently with an unload command,
or banged around by a drive emergency head unload (power cut with the heads
still flying and the platter still spinning).

That I didn't know about... yuck, it is worse than the common "GPU is still
at full-blast" broken sleep problem ATI ThinkPads often have...
