I guess, but I cannot confirm, that when pulling out the cover any mounted partition (perhaps even only VFAT, but I don't know) gets unmounted, but that's all.

Swap is by definition not a mounted partition, so nothing happens.

Obviously, if you do pull the CARD with swap on it you get an instant crash.
Just one additional comment: just a few minutes ago I happened to pull the back over of my N900 and it instantly rebooted.

I'm seriously getting tired of a lot of Maemo-crap that happens to be loaded in our loved N900s. Thanks to @Estel I have my third N900 which I'm basically r4aping by removing lots of preinstalled stuff and cleaninng up the boot process a bit. I will see if I can completely get rid of ke-recv and related GNOMEish-Windows-ish-user-is-too-dumb-to-do-this-by-himself stuff.

My aim is to make a minimal Maemo (I might even remove hildon desktop) which I can then "easily" move to the eMMC (and use U-boot to boot it) and then pack everything in a flashable image.

Anyway, next step is ke-recv.
