I have the same problem but think I figured it out. If your finger is in the area that is 1/2 - 3/4” from the left edge, the app will grab the post and you can swipe out. Anywhere else will trigger the up/down votes.

Tried the suggested areas, can’t get it to swipe out since the update
It’s touchy. I laid a ruler on the screen to test various points before I found a spot that worked. The least frustrating work around for now is to turn off the swipe right gestures.
It works for me but I disabled actions on the LTR swipe for now because I keep accidentally upvoting or downvoting comments when I try to swipe back to my feed. I noticed it takes a specific kind of swipe action for it to work and I need to get used to it to make it repeatable. I don’t upvote/downvote in the first place anyway, so I don’t mind disabling LTR swipe actions.
Turning off the gestures as noted make swiping back out of a post must easier!
