Need clarification on charge ending turn

The general rule is "You can't take anymore actions after you've charged". Swift charge says "You get to charge as a free action when these circumstances are met". If the circumstances are met after you charge, you get to take the swift charge because it overrides the general rule at that time.
This is an improper use of specific vs general. In order for it to work, swift charge would have to have actual language overriding the general rule, such as 'even after a charge'.

You're turning the phrase "has ended your turn" to mean "after your turn is ended", which are subtly different.

Well, before your turn is ended, nothing has ended your turn. It will end your turn. So... they are subtly different--but you cannot have something ended that hasn't yet been ended.
