I have this problem, too. The encrypted swap works fine.The problem is that the linux startup scripts attempt to initialize swap before loading the loop-aes module.
Simply try to execute swapon -a as root after the machine is up and it should work fine.
This could be fixed with some /etc/init.d script dependency stuff, I think..
