Seems like there is a workaround: I can emulate my desired configuration

However, I still don't know why 'cgroups_limit_swap' is not working as
advertised.
Kernelshark is your friend....
IMHO, you should google and read a bit on OOM, OOM-killer and systemd
and cgroups.
OOPs, I forgot a couple of links to get you started on systemd research,
(OOM), cgroups etc etc issues:
