Infinitely many connected components in a Master Teapot slice

Let Ξλ\Xi_\lambda denote the λ\lambda-slice of Thurston's Master Teapot, and let D\overline{\mathbb{D}} be the closed unit disk. Connected-component conjecture. There exists λ(1,2)\lambda\in(1,2) such that

ΞλD\Xi_\lambda\cap\overline{\mathbb{D}}

has infinitely many connected components. This is presented as a consequence that would follow if the preceding asymptotic Julia–Mandelbrot correspondence were true, or at least true for sufficiently many points zz; its resolution is not supplied in the source.
