Kala's ring-theoretic conjecture related to Abhyankar's construction

Let A=Z[T1,,Tn]A=\mathbb{Z}[T_1,\dots,T_n], and let A+=N[T1,,Tn]A^+=\mathbb{N}[T_1,\dots,T_n]. Let BB be a subring of AA and II an ideal of BB. Write QF(B)QF(B) for the quotient field of BB. Kala's ring-theoretic conjecture. The following situation cannot happen:

QF(B)=Q(T1,,Tn),IA=A,QF(B)=\mathbb{Q}(T_1,\dots,T_n),\qquad IA=A,

there exists 0A+\ell_0\in A^+ such that for every aA+a\in A^+ and =0+aA\ell=\ell_0+a\in A, if h()=0h(\ell)=0 for some h(X)B[X]h(X)\in B[X], then h(X)I[X]h(X)\in I[X], and QB/I\mathbb{Q}\subset B/I. The conjecture is introduced because the existence of a finitely generated non-additively-idempotent semifield would imply such a ring-theoretic configuration; proving the conjecture would therefore rule out that possibility.
