It works now!
That cure looks retrograde to me because it throws away the uniqueness of UUIDs. What if /dev/sda3 changes, for whatever reason. A systemd 216 man page for crypttab says: "WARNING: Using the swap option will destroy the contents of the named partition during every boot, so make sure the underlying block device is specified correctly." Could you not try using a /dev/disk/by-foo/... entry instead and see if that works? (I don't recognise the particular one Sven uses.)
