Try running fstype on the /dev/mapper/swap device and see what it 
reports, just to make sure that it is indeed recognized as a suspend 
device. In a running system it's available as /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype

If it is, then it is not weird that you can't "swapon" the device since 
the suspend signature still is there (and it has overwritten the swap 
signature, if the resume had succeeded, the swap signature would have 
been written back ontop of the suspend signature).
