We pin-pointed the issue in the script layout/save/default/320_autoexclude.sh and more specific in the area where disks are excluded which are not in use. Reason is the variable AUTOEXCLUDE_DISKS=y setting in the conf/default.conf file.

The question is : should be add swap devices automatically to the used_disks array in above mentioned script? Or, should be add a better explanation in the default.conf file about potential consequences of variable AUTOEXCLUDE_DISKS ?

I think because this issue is marked as "fixed" it can be closed.
