Left-right symmetry conjecture for affine involution Stanley symmetric functions

Let nn be a positive integer, let I~n\tilde I_n denote the set of affine involutions, let zI~nz\in\tilde I_n, let F^z\hat{F}_z be the affine involution Stanley symmetric function, let ω+\omega^+ be the relevant involution on symmetric functions, let A(z)\mathcal{A}(z) be the set of affine atoms associated with zz, and let FπF_\pi denote the affine Stanley symmetric function indexed by π\pi. Left-right symmetry conjecture. For every zI~nz\in\tilde I_n,

ω+(F^z)=F^z,\omega^+(\hat{F}_z)=\hat{F}_z,

that is,

πA(z)Fπ1=πA(z)Fπ.\sum_{\pi\in\mathcal{A}(z)}F_{\pi^{-1}}=\sum_{\pi\in\mathcal{A}(z)}F_\pi.

This conjecture says that the left- and right-handed conventions yield the same affine involution Stanley symmetric function, as suggested by the corresponding left-handed versions of the coproduct and comodule results. The statement is supported by computations, but remains open in the source.
