No!  The original post was CORRECT!  I refer you, again, to Section
Ten.  It says that support is cut in each of the following instances:
		1.  A supporting unit is attacked by a unit not in the territory
into which it gives support.
		2.  A unit is dislodged by an attack originating anywhere,
including the territory into which it is giving support.
	Since Sweden, in this case, clearly faces an attack with one support, it
is obviously dislodged.  It's support is cut, it must retreat, and both of the
moves into Norway fail.
