Generalized M-polynomial product conjecture for graded Lie algebra components

Let g=iZg(i)\mathfrak g=\bigoplus_{i\in\mathbb Z}\mathfrak g(i) be a Z\mathbb Z-grading of a simple Lie algebra, and let Δ(1)\Delta(1) be the corresponding weight poset with height function ht{\mathsf{ht}}. Let An(Δ(1))\mathfrak{An}(\Delta(1)) denote its antichains and let \EuScriptMΔ(1)(t)\EuScript M_{\Delta(1)}(t) be its M-polynomial.

Generalized M-polynomial product conjecture. One has

\EuScriptMΔ(1)(t)=γΔ(1)1tht(γ)+11tht(γ).\EuScript M_{\Delta(1)}(t)=\prod_{\gamma\in\Delta(1)}\frac{1-t^{{\mathsf{ht}}(\gamma)+1}}{1-t^{{\mathsf{ht}}(\gamma)}}.

In particular,

#An(Δ(1))=\EuScriptMΔ(1)(1)=γΔ(1)ht(γ)+1ht(γ).\#\mathfrak{An}(\Delta(1))=\EuScript M_{\Delta(1)}(1)=\prod_{\gamma\in\Delta(1)}\frac{{\mathsf{ht}}(\gamma)+1}{{\mathsf{ht}}(\gamma)}.

The formula is proved in the abelian and extra-special cases and in some additional small product cases, but remains open for arbitrary gradings.
