Yes, it is the default in that case.

The problem is, in the case of the "platform" hibernation, kernel_power_off()
is not called at all (ACPI mechanism to enter the S4 sleep state is used
instead).  Apart from this, there should be lines like:

"ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S4"

in the dmesg log in that case and they are not present in your dmesg.

Your dmesg looks like a mixture of hibernation in the "shutdown" mode with
"emergency" shutdown caused by "SysRq : Power Off".

Thanks,
Rafael
