Hi again,
After looking at the sources more carefully, it was noted that ped_disk_commit() just calls two other functions, ped_disk_commit_to_dev() and ped_disk_commit_to_os(). The latter causes the kernel to re-read the partition table, causing a hang if swap is active. Since we are not modifying the partition table during filesystem creation, re-reading isn't necessary, and calling ped_disk_commit_to_dev() works fine with active swap. So, the only modification necessary to resolve the problem is the following change to parted_server.c:
--- partman-61/parted_server.c 2004-09-28 20:08:40.000000000 -0400
+++ partman/parted_server.c 2004-12-12 22:40:09.902803304 -0500

if (fs != NULL)Thanks to Thiemo Seufer for helping out with debugging.
