Installer should recommend, create, and add to fstab(5) a swap zvol 
in the case of a single zpool partition configuration without a dedicated swap gpart.

I don't think zfs creates an fstab entry.

Currently its a manual, post-installation process:
# zfs create -V 8G tank/swap
# echo "/dev/zvol/tank/swap none swap sw 0 0" >>/etc/fstab
# swapon -a

cat /etc/fstab

Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass

/dev/label/swap0.eli none swap sw 0 0

That's a GELI swap partition.
See gpart(8) show
