I found a way this bug can cause ugly crashes in real life. I bought a
second hard drive and tried making two swaps to be used simultaneosly.
That involves making the priorities fixed, and i ended up with

~$ cat /proc/swaps 
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/hda6                               partition       1076284 0       1
/dev/sda1                               partition       1052216 0       1
/dev/mapper/hda6                        partition       1076284 0       1

Now both hda6-entries have same priorities and will be used at same
time...

The mentioned sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a fixes the problem until reboot. 
And I just removed the UUID from my fstab, I hope that will work for me.

amd64, 2.6.20-15-generic, upgraded all the way from 5.04-...-7.04.
