Quickly swiping back using default interactivePopGestureRecognizer disables interaction of a UITableViewCell

Question

I have a table view with rows which when selected I push a view controller onto the navigation stack.

If I use the interactive pop gesture to go back slowly, everything works as expected.

Only when very quickly swiping from the left edge does the following behavior occur:

Selection and or dragging starting from the cell that was originally selected is completely disabled

All other cells work fine and table scrolls starting from any other cell. Pushing a view controller and popping back fixes the problem.

I believe there to be a navigation bug related to this in iOS 7...This is iOS 9 and the behavior is repeatable since interactive pop's origination in iOS7. I've seen similar issues, but none of their solutions work for this particular case:

interactivePopGestureRecognizer causes the UITabBarController disables interaction

iOS 7, corrupt UINavigationBar when swiping back fast using the default interactivePopGestureRecognizer

I don't want to disable the interaction entirely as in: self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.delegate = nil; or self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;

I've tried all obvious things like

  [tableView reloadData]

and

  [self.view layoutIfNeeded] 

in view will appear

Would love some suggestions - thought about presenting/dismissing a dummy vc in the case that the coordinator is interactive, but that's kind of ridiculous.
