Non-tangency conjecture for phase-lock adjacencies

Let ω>0\omega>0, and let (B0,A0)R+2(B_0,A_0)\in\mathbb R_+^2 be an adjacency of a phase-lock area. Consider the two branches of the boundary of that phase-lock area meeting at (B0,A0)(B_0,A_0). Non-tangency conjecture. These two boundary branches cannot both be tangent at (B0,A0)(B_0,A_0) to the vertical line {B=B0}\{B=B_0\}. This conjecture is proposed in a strategy for ruling out boundary contact with certain vertical lines; the source gives no resolution evidence.
