Perhaps I should have expanded on my response.
My response was directed at what Roman stated in his OP, namely-
"The 20140909 ISO Yast partitioner has a default setting:
"sda1 --> swap "sda2 --> / "sda3 --> /home
"If I delete this setting in VirtualBox and change it to:
"sda1 --> / "sda2 --> /swap "sda3 --> /home
"I get an error:......"
and in particular at "...Yast partitioner has a *default* setting:..." [my emphasis] as wells as at the error he gets when he tries to do what HE wants to do with swap partition and where HE wants it to go.
There have been discussions in the HELP list where people have stated that they often do not have a swap partition of any size because their system has no need for /swap. Of course, some people do need /swap - like yourself it would appear - but I certainly don't need one.
My response - badly put - was aimed at YaST *forcing* not only a /swap to be created but also *where* YaST wants to put it and not where "*I*" want to put it (if I want /swap at all that is).
The "error" has nothing to do with the swap partition but with
btrfs subvolumes or / and the /home partition as I already
wrote. More that that, the user can ignore the message (like all
checks in the expert partitioner).
