Not sure of the cause, and not sure if it is an issue effected your car and mine or if it effects other 5MT swappers, but my solution was to take apart the instrument cluster and remove the airbag light. Heck, I'm not even sure if the airbag will ever go off if needed but I wear my belt (lap belt too when I remember it) so I'm not too worried about it.

When an airbag deploys it triggers the Airbag light. Replacing the airbag will not turn the light off.....the SRS system has to be reset. We do this for body shops all the time. Your light was probably on just as a reminder that the system needs to be reset.
Just a friendly reminder to those with an Airbag light on: when the light comes on the SRS system shuts down. The airbag will not deploy if the Airbag light is on, regardless of why the light is on.
