I reported the same issue days ago and they still didn't address it, even though they said over Twitter that their engineering team is aware of the issue and working on a fix.

Haven't heard from them since then.

I just ended up constructing the "right" permalink "by hand":

id = "UPDATE-c5323310-6328147480441683969"
url = "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:#{id.split('-').last}/"
