I came across similar issue.
We are also using a countdown timer in live activity and dynamic island.
Due to this issue with Text(date, style: .timer) in a dynamic island we leveraged the workaround provided here.
This workaround caused issues in the live activity, mainly caused by the frame modifier on the Text view.
This issue only occurred in dynamic island, so I just stopped using the workaround for our Live Activity and the issue went away
Hope this helps!
