You can label swap partitions like this: 

mkswap -L <label> <block device>

Another option is to use swap files.

AFAIK software raid stores the information about how a particular partition 
fits into a whole raid array on the partition itself, so the way in which the 
devices appear in /dev makes no difference.

I am using a software raid array and have the same problem. Labeling the 
partitions (including the swap partitions) made everything work.
