I don't think it is a problem. Sitting in a SU-24 with a few armed Gripens on your Neck you would know your chances were you to try and continue straight ahead.
That said it is not even clear what alleged kind of Nuclear wepaon we are talking about. A free-fall bomb? A Cruise missile? In any case once being accompanied there is almost no chance any more to achieve a successful delivery (apart maybe from the Kinshal - but that is another Story anyway). Cruise missile can be easily shot down if the fighter is directly behind the Bomber delivering it. Free- fall bombs would require you to overfly the target. You can be sure the Swedes won't sit there and wait until being over Stockholm.
So I don't see a real downside to sticking to this practice.
