It looks like swank-loader is already present in your lisp-image.
T * (swank-loader:init)
The latest version of swank-loader:init doesn't reload swank if the package already exists. You can call it with (swank-loader:init :reload t) to override that. slime.el invokes swank-loader:init without arguments. To solve your problem you could create a core with a new version of swank which has the swank:setup function, or customize slime-lisp-implementations so that swank-loader:init gets called differently.
