That explains why 'disklabel -t' looks correct, it shows the in-kernel disklabel. It doesn't explain why the on-disk label has the entries swapped. When you edit the disklabel, the kernel writes to the disk. When that corrects the error, the bug is in the disklabel program, otherwise it's in the kernel.
