The APT p-group bound for the Schur multiplier

Let GG be a finite pp-group, where pp is prime. Write exp(G)\operatorname{exp}(G) for the exponent of GG, and let H2(G,Z)H_2(G,\mathbb{Z}) be its second homology group with integer coefficients. APT's conjecture. One should have

exp(H2(G,Z))pexp(G).\operatorname{exp}(H_2(G,\mathbb{Z}))\mid p\,\operatorname{exp}(G).

The paper states that this conjecture was made before Vaughan-Lee produced counterexamples, but the supplied evidence does not identify which counterexample refutes this bound. The precise resolution should be checked in the cited APT reference.
