Source item disappears after swipe-back with .navigationTransition(.zoom)

[Submitted as FB21078443]

When using .matchedTransitionSource with .navigationTransition(.zoom), swiping back from the left edge to return from a detail view causes the source item to disappear once the transition finishes. It’s only a visual issue—the item is still there and can be tapped to open again.

This doesn’t happen when using the Back button; only the swipe-back gesture triggers it. Also, it only reproduces on a physical device, not in Simulator.

SYSTEM INFO

• Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100)
• macOS 26.1 (25B78)
• iOS 26.1 (23B85)
• iOS 26.2 (23C5044b)

REPRO STEPS

Run the code below on a physical device, tap an image, then swipe from the left edge to dismiss the detail view.

ACTUAL

The image zooms back to its origin, then disappears once the animation settles.

EXPECTED

The image card remains visible.
