Countability conjecture for horofunctions on Cayley graphs of polynomial growth

Let GG be a Cayley graph of polynomial volume growth. A horofunction is a function obtained as the pointwise limit associated with a geodesic ray in GG; equivalently, for a geodesic ray ω=(z1,z2,)\omega=(z_1,z_2,\ldots), define

fω(y)=limn(d(zn,y)d(zn,o)),f_\omega(y)=\lim_{n\to\infty}\bigl(d(z_n,y)-d(z_n,o)\bigr),

where oo is a fixed vertex and dd is the graph metric.

Countability conjecture. The set of horofunctions on GG is countable.

This asks for a generalization of the preceding finiteness result for graphs of linear volume growth to Cayley graphs of polynomial volume growth. The source presents it as a related, probably much more difficult, question and gives no resolution.
