Failure of the fully marked surface theorem for C2 taut foliations

Let MM be a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold, let F\mathcal{F} be a C2C^2 taut foliation on MM, and let SS be a fully marked surface. C2C^2 failure conjecture. There exists such a triple (M,F,S)(M,\mathcal{F},S) for which no C2C^2 taut foliation G\mathcal{G} on MM has oriented plane field homotopic to that of F\mathcal{F} and has SS homologous to a union of leaves. The conjecture reflects the expected failure of the theorem's analogue in the C2C^2 category, where the flexibility of Denjoy blow-up is unavailable.
