Conjecture on universal invariants of bottom tangles concordant to boundary tangles

Set v=exph2v=\exp\frac{h}{2} and q=v2q=v^2, and let JTJ_T denote the universal sl2sl_2 invariant of a bottom tangle. Let (Uˉqev)  ^  ^n(\bar U_q^{ev})\;\hat {}^{\;\hat \otimes n} be the subalgebra introduced in the paper, contained in (Uˉqev)  ~  ~n(\bar U_q^{ev})\;\tilde {}^{\;\tilde \otimes n}. An nn-component bottom tangle is concordant to a boundary bottom tangle if it is concordant to such a tangle; in particular, every slice bottom tangle has this property. Conjecture on concordance and integrality. If an nn-component bottom tangle TT is concordant to a boundary bottom tangle, then

JT(Uˉqev)  ^  ^n.J_T\in (\bar U_q^{ev})\;\hat {}^{\;\hat \otimes n}.

The claim generalizes Habiro's boundary-bottom-tangle conjecture and the paper's theorem for ribbon bottom tangles. The supplied text does not state whether this generalization is resolved.
