I made it work by installing 12.04 and then inmediately upgrading to 14.04
Every other way to get SWAP properly encrypted and stable failed for me.

Title:
  Ubuntu installer doesn't format swap partition when selecting
  encrypted drive and home

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
