I've noticed that it's less of an issue with the Ruger style cylinder release than the Smith one. The airweights I've shot all drove their cylinder release into my thumb pretty badly.
Edit: I may have just answered my own question... I noticed your thumb was sticking a lot farther forward than mine was, and in playing around with my hands, I may have been doing the thumbs forward grip wrong all along (ie, not cocking the weak hand forward enough) and not realizing it.
