I've been studying the swap mess.  It seems that the installer made a
swapfile called /swapfile and entered the line in /etc/crypttab as:

cryptswap1 /target/swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-
xts-plain64

which is the wrong, non-existent filename. So that seems to be an issue with 
the installer scripts.
 
Also, I do not believe that the installer even asked me about a swap partition. 
 I recall being surprised at the time.

Anyway, after fixing that and rerunning ecryptfs-setup-swap, I was able
to use cryptdisks_start to get the encrypted swap going and reboot with
encrypted swap successfully.  I wonder if this has been the root of my
problem all along?
