Mike,
I've been able to reproduce the problem. The cloning of swap partitions
over LVM logical volumes was not correctly supported. Now I've fixed the
bug in the trunk, it'll be available in the next release (maybe 3.7.5 or
maybe we'll release a 3.7.4.1 including some the recent fixes).
For now you can use the code from the trunk or apply the following
patch.
Thanks for reporting,
-Andrea
