Versions:

Ubuntu 14.04 Beta 2 AMD64 - "ubuntu-14.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso"
Xubuntu 14.04 Beta 2 AMD64 - "xubuntu-14.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso"

Steps to reproduce running the standard amd64 iso installer:

1. Select install Ubuntu
2. Choose erase entire disk and auto-partition
3. Select full disk encryption
4. Select home drive encryption
5. Set other timezone/username settings

Problem:

On boot the swap partition is not activated. 
However, entries for the swap partition are present in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab.

Solution:

The following command: "mkswap /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1" immediately resolves the issue.
The installer should automatically ensure the swap partition is formatted.
