My procedure was:
1. Using the Live edition of Gparted, remove all partitions on 
hard disk.
2. Using install DVD 1 of Debian 8.0.0
    a. install Debian to /dev/sda1
    b. create swap on /dev/sda2
3. Verify Debian boots without problems
4. Using the same DVD
    a. install Debian to /dev/sda5
    b. re-create swap on /dev/sda2
5. Attempt to boot both instances
    a. Booting the install on /dev/sda1 generates the warning 
message and use
       of free shows swap does not exist.
    b. Booting the install on /dev/sda5 generates no warning 
message and use
       of free shows swap does exist.

I believe this justifies a bug report against the installer.
My expected behavior would be to check to see if a swap area 
already exists before "creating" a swap partition. Especially 
since replacing a swap partition can break a previously 
functioning install in a multi-boot situation.
