Just throwing in my 2 cent's from a QE perspective but I went ahead and tested swiping at from different angles and I found that there wasn't a problem in most situations.
I swiped several app windows to close them in succession. Tests I ran (I am right handed): 1.) Held phone in right hand and swiped with left. 2.) Held phone in left hand and swiped with right. 3.) Held phone with left hand and swiped with same hand. 4.) Held phone with right hand and swiped with same hand. At any rate, it seems that swiping to kill a task (from my own tests) works pretty well. I could not get my swipes to register as a left to right scroll. But maybe it's me. I do have big hands.
