Comment (by axeld):
Now that you mention that, that makes sense: the swap file is deleted, but
its space can only be freed when the file is no longer in use.
Unfortunately, the swap is never stopped to be used, so when the system
reboots, the knowledge of freeing this file's space is gone.
A proper fix would be to shut down the swap file service when the system
is shut down. This should be done immediately before unmounting/syncing
the boot drive. In that case, the file should be removed correctly.
