Once past idle it seemed the gas volume was sufficient to preclude any exposure from ambient air and my readings were steady. Even if the readings weren't entirely accurate, at least it would err on the safe side reading leaner that actual if it was picking up any ambient air.
Again, not optimal location but it's what I did for what it's worth.

FWIW I have a dual outlet muffler and at idle one side seems to draw air in, the other side a little of both. This would definitely lead to wrong readings at idle.
Above maybe 1,500 rpm or so this problem disappears.
