Not sure if the mechanism is fully known, but these two pages from the second link I posted might be helpful. Respiration can effect swallowing, and vice-versa.

that occasional 1-2 sec of swallowing hardly effects the airways , IMO

maybe increased airflow may stress or dry the tissue in the laryngopharynx
and weaken the upper esophageal sphincter
