Card component breaks on expo 53.0.0 and react-native 0.79.2 (Android only)

Current behaviour

When pressing on the Card, the following error is thrown:

On iOS, everything works fine.

Expected behaviour

When pressing on the Card, everything should simply work.

Hey @fabriziocucci, I've tried to reproduce it on the new react native project with expo 53, however without success. Please add a repro 🙏🏽

[fabriziocucci]

@lukewalczak trying as we speak, it looks like the repro is more complicated than expected! 🙁

I currently have a list (vertical) of lists (horizontal), where each item of the horizontal lists is a Card.

Still not sure what's the exact repro but I'll try to gradually narrow down the issue.
