The length-set invariance conjecture for block monoids

Let GG and GG' be finite Abelian groups, and let B(G)\mathcal B(G) and B(G)\mathcal B(G') denote their block monoids of zero-sum sequences. For a monoid SS, write L(S)\mathcal L(S) for its set of length sets.

Length-set invariance conjecture. If G,G>3|G|,|G'|>3 and

L(B(G))=L(B(G)),\mathcal L(\mathcal B(G))=\mathcal L(\mathcal B(G')),

then

B(G)=B(G).\mathcal B(G)=\mathcal B(G').

This conjecture asserts that, apart from the stated small-order exception, the set of length sets completely determines the block monoid among finite Abelian groups. The supplied text gives no information about whether the conjecture has been resolved.
