Thanks for confirming this, Gaudenz.

I hereby link this bug report with upstream and will monitor upstream
activity on this. If a fix pops up, it will be proposed for wheezy.

Please note that upstream is seriously considering to abandon swat,
which is very loosely maintained and a potential can of security
bugs. I would encourage anyone relying on it for production use to
consider switching to another tool or utility (no idea which one, though).
