The versal-family pullback question for p-divisible groups

From papers

Let XX be a complete curve over Fq\mathbb{F}_{q}, and let GX\mathscr{G}\to X be a pp-divisible group with ordinary and supersingular points. A pp-divisible group is everywhere versally deformed when its deformation is versal at every point.

Versal-family pullback conjecture. Does there exist a variety YY and a height-22, dimension-11 pp-divisible group H\mathscr{H} on YY, everywhere versally deformed, together with a map XYX\to Y such that G\mathscr{G} is the pullback of H\mathscr{H}?

\xymatrix{\mathscr{G}\ar[d]\ar[r] & \mathscr{H}\ar[d]\\\\ X\ar[r] & Y }

The question asks whether such groups can be pulled back from a universal versally deformed family. The source notes that YY cannot in general be required to be a curve, citing examples of fake Hilbert modular surfaces.
