If an inode that is being used as a swap store is deleted, then the inode hangs around with a non-zero reference count. When the process goes way, the inode is deleted and the blocks recovered. If this wasn't a fsck message (doesn't look like one), then my guess is that it's over-ambitious error reporting. If it happens frequently, it may be more serious corruption. But a one-time-occurance is not a problem, especially fater one of the two events described above.
