Just another data point:  I have a system running the May 22, 1997 
3.0-Snapshot, and it has this behavior.  I have a 512 Mbyte swap partition that
I use for a memory file system, with this in my fstab:

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/wd0s1b             /tmp            mfs     rw              0       0

It shows in df(1) like this:

Filesystem     1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
mfs:22             31039        8    28548     0%    /tmp

swapinfo(8) says:

Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0s1b    512000    54728   457208    11%    Interleaved

I never tried mounting it from a command.
