Maybe the vote up / down option could be moved to after the body of the post? Does seem like an awkward set of design considerations between wanting people to see the current score before reading, and not split the current score from the vote buttons or duplicate the score, and I bet Habryka has thought about this already.
I doubt moving buttons is sufficient, you probably need a popup on upvote only: “hey, our scroll counter algorithm thinks you didn’t read the whole article. Please take a moment to be sure you really don’t want to do that before you upvote!”
