The answer to your question is in "man mount_mfs":
"If the -P file option is not used,
the owner and mode of the created mfs file system will be
the same as the owner and mode of the mount point."
In other words, there is an entry for /tmp on the / filesystem, and
when the new swap filesystem is mounted, it inherits the permissions
of the original base /tmp entry.
So you need to chmod the underlying /tmp entry in the root filesystem,
then the change will stick. Simplest way to do this is boot single
user, do the chmod, and then reboot.
