This does not make sense. :wa saves all modified files. If you
actually recovered unsaved changes, your buffer will be modified, and
therefore will be saved with :wa.

I'm guessing either you did not really do a recovery (the "a" choice
in the recovery prompt is "abort", not "agree"), or there were no
unsaved changes in the swap files, so your buffers remained unmodified.
