(No, I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than a swap partition either, but it sounds like a neat extension to what's already a pretty insane mod.)

What, are you insane? A swap partition is the last thing I'd use it for, if it fails, you end up with a kernel panic, much better to use it for /tmp.
