Strange issue with CarouselPage (full code example)

I've been battling with the CarouselPage control for some time now (apologies for yet another thread, but this one deals with a specific issue and I'm very close to having the control working exactly as I need it to).

When I run this app I can swipe between each of the 9 pages quickly and seamlessly. Pages 2-9 each contain 2 StackLayouts and a Button, this doesn't seem to have any effect on performance or scrolling ability.

When the "i" button is tapped I add another StackLayout which contains some text, this again has no effect on performance or scrolling ability.

It wasn't until I added the last StackLayout (which contains another 5 buttons that sit to the left of the "i" button) I started experiencing problems and I'll do my best to explain what those are... It isn't that the scrolling is slow (which I experienced when creating and inserting all elements in one go in my GetMainPage function) or stutters (when I tried to create/insert elements using the CarouselPage.CurrentPageChanged event)... the problem is that sometimes my swipe gesture is completely ignored, I'll try and swipe to the next page and nothing happens (the swipe is registered in the console), swipe again, nothing happens, then what seems like a random number of attempts later, the swipe will work and the page will change just as quickly/smoothly as when no controls are on the pages. The problem ONLY occurs when all the elements are visible, you'll see from code that when the "i" button becomes an "X" button and is tapped, the StackLayouts containing the text and the buttons are each removed, thus ensuring smooth and consistent swiping.

Code below for App.cs and MainActivity.cs (you can ignore SceneNumber as it isn't used yet)

Some output below:

The first 4 are examples of swipes being detected but nothing happens, the 5th worked and the page changed quickly and smoothly.

I have also noticed that I don't experience this problem on a Tablet with 1GB RAM, the device I'm using is a Tecno P5S with 512 MB RAM.

Does anyone have any ideas?
