I totally missed the size discrepancy.
I believe in new btrfs versions, you can use:
# btrfs filesystem mkswapfile swapfile
# swapon swapfile
That's what he did, but the swapfs on the volume had the wrong size. So
a simple run of mkswap fixes that. It's still the same volume with all
the same attributes, just different data.
