If you stick your finger in a bottle of new antifreeze you can feel how slippery it is. It has oil in it to lubricate the water pump and keep the rubber seals from leaking. While not motor oil, it's some type of oil nothing the less. Hoses are designed to resist deterioration from under hood chemicals so I wouldn't blame the swelling on a trace amount of oil.
