labeling a swap partition

I see that officially, e2label can not label a swap partition.  So, I am 
confused by what I see in my fstab:
LABEL=SWAP-i2o/hda3     swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

I have an Adaptec 2010S ZCR card that likes to play with my mind, so I 
have found that using labels on my partitions lets me win the game with 
the ZCR card.

The above entry from the fstab is from a fresh install of FC3.  If 
e2label doesn't label swap partitions, how did the above entry occur?  
And, how can I guarantee that my the swap I want used is the one that 
will be used?

Thanks
eric
