I repeated the process with the 1024 MB swap image:

# df -H .
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cobd0             2.2G   156M   1.9G   8% /

And it seemed to work since I was able to create a 1.5 GB file, which 
spanned the original 1 GB limit of the filesystem:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zeros.big bs=10M count=150
150+0 records in
150+0 records out
1572864000 bytes transferred in 652.248297 seconds (2411450 bytes/sec)

# df -H .
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cobd0             2.2G   1.8G   299M  86% /
