I managed to work around this bug by letting the installer set up full-disk encryption as usual. When the error message came, I chose "Yes" to display the partitioning scheme already created by the installer. Here I changed the type of the swap partition from "swap" to "do not use". The installation completed successfully after that. Then, right after first booting into the new system, I manually turned the unused partition (named /dev/<hostname>/swap_1) into a proper swap partition by following these instructions:
