Sorry to follow up my own posting, but I have something that works.

Two changes to /etc/rc.d/swap1

  change stop_cmd from ':' to 'swap1_stop'

  and change the line in swap1_stop from

      swapctl -U -t blk

  to

      swapoff -a

And 1 behavioural change.  I reflexively use reboot to reboot the
machine, and hadn't ever made the connection that it doesn't run any
shutdown scripts.  W/ the changes above, and using 'shutdown -r now'
to reboot the machine, it comes up w/out synching the mirror.

COOL!

To be consistent, one should probably also change the start_cmd to
swap1_start, and fix that function to use swapon -a since its usage of
swapctl is also broken.  Then, no_swap and swapoff need to be
defaulted in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Or, one could delete the swap1_{start,stop} functions, and just make
start_cmd be 'swapon -a' and stop_cmd be 'swapoff -a'.

I don't know which is more better, clearly there's some history here
that's unfinished, or a cross-BSD compatibility thing, or???

Pawel, should I file some kind of bug here, or should you do
something, or???
