Periodic points in minimally supported surface-group graph subshifts

From papers

Let Σ\Sigma be a surface group, let VV be a finite set, and let XVΣX\subset V^{\Sigma} be the graph subshift defined by a finite graph G\mathcal G. A point xXx\in X is periodic when its stabilizer has finite index in Σ\Sigma. The periodic-point conjecture. If there is a shift-invariant Borel probability measure μ\mu on XX such that Σ\Sigma acts minimally on the support of μ\mu, then XX contains a periodic point xXx\in X. Moreover, if for some vVv\in V one has

μ({xXx(id)=v})>0,\mu\bigl(\{x\in X\mid x(id)=v\}\bigr)>0,

then XX contains a periodic point xXx\in X with x(id)=vx(id)=v. This is described as a discrete form of the preceding conjecture for hyperbolic tilings. The source gives no resolution, so the assertion remains open.
