Yeah, there is a small amount of leakage voltage across a normal domestic switch.
In saying that, its only ever measurable with a sensitive digital meter
I used to refer to it as a ghost voltage, because if you added any kind of load, it disappeared.
Given the way your LED light auto select modes, this leakage voltage may very well be the problem.
As a test, add a resistive load across the same contacts.
Another option might be to use a 2 Pole Switch Mech, it switches both Active and Neutral at the same time.
(You can not switch the neutral as you suggested, only the active or both)
Good Luck
