The NIT needs to unmount the card before making it visible over USB, and it can't do that if it's got an active swap file on it.
I haven't had problems accessing internal memory card with swap enabled... but I tend to close all my apps before connecting it with USB cable.

My guess is that the swap can be left enabled, but IT should not have active pages to swap (virtual?) memory when trying to connect to PC as removable disk.
