Nope, pmdisk doesn't need exclusive access to the first swap partition,
just enough space to save kernel state (during suspend, all user processes
are frozen and swapped out, so memory used by processes doesn't count
here).

I'm not sure you can use LVM 'devices' for swap.

That might make a difference. I had no luck with the latest mol packages
on 2.6 kernels yet...
