Not much.

The outer wing would fly in undisturbed flow and an inboard wedge would fly inside of the Mach cone of the nose. This is similar to a wing with a supersonic leading edge; something that has been quite common with Mach 2+ designs before swing-wing aircraft. The nose shock of a pointed nose is a weak, oblique shock which does not alter flow parameters dramatically,
