Unfortunately see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206048 :

11.0-CURRENT -r293227 (and others) arm (rpi2/BeagleBone Black) amd64 etc: swapfile usage hangs; swap partition works .

As far as I know it still applies for the problems that can occur for plain-file based swap files. The list of comments covers more than just armv6 as having example failures.
