seems like this is a distribution specific bug. please see the ubuntu
bug tracking system, in particular take a look at the following bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/502665
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/508848

at the end of the second buglog, the issue is identified as a filesystem
signatures issue. the device in question seems to contain more than one
filesystem signatures. what's the result of the following commands:

# blkid -p /dev/mapper/swap
# wipefs -n /dev/mapper/swap

please also post your /etc/crypttab. since the device in question
(/dev/mapper/swap) seems to be used as swap device, wiping the
filesystem signatures on it shouldn't be a problem at all.

greetings,
 jonas
