IP Swap in the manager doesn't swap the ipv6 address on a Linode.

That's because the IPv6 addresses are assigned via SLAAC, which uses the MAC address of the system. As such, they can't just be swapped around like IPv4.

Don't use the "primary" IPv6 address for a linode for anything other than direct access to that node. For websites, etc, use addresses from your IPv6 pool and bring those addresses up on the linode.
