Sommers' non-normal orbit-closure conjecture for non-abelian Lusztig quotients

Let O\mathcal{O} be a nilpotent orbit, let SOS_{\mathcal{O}} be its special piece, and let A(O)\overline{A}(\mathcal{O}) be its Lusztig quotient. For OSO\mathcal{O}'\in S_{\mathcal{O}}, let H(O,O)H(\mathcal{O}',\mathcal{O}) be the Levi subgroup assigned by Lusztig. Sommers' non-normal orbit-closure conjecture. Suppose

A(O)=S3, S4 or S5,\overline{A}(\mathcal{O})=S_3,\ S_4\text{ or }S_5,

and H(O,O)H(\mathcal{O}',\mathcal{O}) is neither 11 nor A(O)\overline{A}(\mathcal{O}). Then there exist two distinct completely prime primitive ideals J(λ1)J(\lambda_1) and J(λ2)J(\lambda_2) such that

U(g)/J(λ1)KCR(O),U(g)/J(λ2)KCR(O).U(\mathfrak{g})/J(\lambda_1)|_{K_{\mathbb{C}}}\cong R(\mathcal{O}),\qquad U(\mathfrak{g})/J(\lambda_2)|_{K_{\mathbb{C}}}\cong R(\overline{\mathcal{O}}).

The surrounding discussion explains that this representation-theoretic prediction implies non-normality for the relevant orbit closures, and notes that the G2G_2 case of O8\mathcal{O}_8 has already been proved. The supplied text gives no general resolution of the conjecture.
