Almost impossible to force close application with TalkBack (REGRESSION)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. Be sure to have Google Talkback enabled
1. Start one or more applications
2. Go to Home
3. Tap and then doubletap the button that shows recent apps.
4. Place two fingers over one app
5. swipe with two fingers to the right or left in order to force close that app

What is the expected output? 
It should force close the application. This used to work previous to 4.3

What do you see instead?
Erratic behavior. It is almost impossible to swipe the app away. One of these 
may happen randomly:
a - the background and the desired app get alternatively "selected" (i.e. 
highlighted with a thin yellow border) frantically, their name being TTS-ed 
each time, and nothing happens; or
b - accidentally the application that you wanted to force close is opened.

It's like it's very hard for the two-finger-swipe gesture to be detected.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Android 4.3
