FT mobile showing posts I've already seen ("last read" marker not being updated)

Some previous discussion is embedded in the infinite scroll thread:

Infinite / Automatic Scroll: issues, q&a, disable on desktop version

but IMO this issue warrants its own thread, and I didn't manage to locate one on a quick search, so starting a new one...

They're fine on the 'current' page, but any subsequent pages being loaded by infinite scrolling, posts aren't being marked as read as I browse them. When I return to my subscriptions, they're still marked as not read, and if I click on first unread it will take me to the start of a page I've already read.

(further previous discussion available at the above link)

Although the problem has always been somewhat variable in nature (and I recognize that makes it hard to troubleshoot), it has been noticeably worse (for me anyway) in the last 5-7 days, happening a *lot*, and in some cases requiring opening the same thread 3-4 times to properly set the last-read marker, even though I am infinite-scrolling to the very end of the page, waiting a number of seconds (just in case the "update-last-read-marker" operation is one of the last things the forum code does), etc.
