In the meantime there is a viable workaround.
Open the files Data\PlayerProfiles\Default\inputconfig.xml and Data\PlayerProfiles\Eoc\inputconfig.xml from the game directory.
Search for the texts "MOUSEBUTTON1" and "MOUSEBUTTON2" and replace all instances to "MOUSEBUTTON2" / "MOUSEBUTTON1".
There should be 2 lines you'll have to change in each file.
Default\inputconfig.xml:
<!-- default mouse bindings -->
<IE_MouseButtonLeft pikey="MOUSEBUTTON1" ...
<IE_MouseButtonRight pikey="MOUSEBUTTON2" ...
Eoc\inputconfig.xml:
<IE_Action1 pikey="MOUSEBUTTON1" ...
<IE_Action2 pikey="MOUSEBUTTON2" ...
