Where is it getting the 106M number? Anyone else seen this on Solaris? ____

Yes, same here. It gets the number from the [swaplist] section (from swap -l) of your client message, in preference to the [swap] section (from swap -s). [Reference: xymond/client/solaris.c, in function handle_solaris_client()]

So the real question is, why does "swap -s" and "swap -l" give different results? The man page for swap indicates that "swap -s" includes swap space in the form of physical memory (in addition to swap partitions and files). Physical memory used for swap?! Huh!? I really don't know how the Solaris memory management works!

So I was about to write: "Another great question: why does one of (and probably more, but not all) my machines NOT have a [swaplist] section and therefore, possibly as a result, show the correct info? I'm suspecting this is why I thought this worked fine, because it does, at least on some of my equipment. Two machines are easy to compare because they're both on the same page in Xymon. Both are Solaris 10u10 SPARC."

...and then I discovered that the working machine is running the Xymon client v4.2.3 and the broken one is running Xymon 4.3.10. Hmmmmm.
