Seems to be reliably creating swap now on every boot - did several reboots on Pi 5, Pi 3B+ (64 and 32-bit, and with total_mem=512), Pi 1B rev1 256MB and it looks good. Dmesg and journalctl look clean (apart from the "system has too much memory" message, which is meant to be there).
Only issue I've spotted on the 1.2 package (I think it was present in the original package, not 100% sure) - it needed a reboot before the zram-based swap showed up. (Only checked one install running 32-bit on a Pi 3B+). dmesg says:
