Neguț's Kac-polynomial formula for the graded dimension of the shuffle algebra

Let QQ be a quiver, let B\b0{\mathcal B}_{\b0} be the slope-zero algebra graded by dimension vectors, and write

AQ(t,z)=nNI\b0AQ,n(t)zn,A_Q(t,\boldsymbol{z})=\sum_{\boldsymbol{n}\in {\mathbb N}^I\setminus\b0}A_{Q,\boldsymbol{n}}(t)\boldsymbol{z}^{\boldsymbol{n}},

where AQ,n(t)A_{Q,\boldsymbol{n}}(t) is the Kac polynomial. Define

χB\b0(z)=nNIdimB\b0nzn\chi_{{\mathcal B}_{\b0}}(\boldsymbol{z})=\sum_{\boldsymbol{n}\in {\mathbb N}^I}\dim {\mathcal B}_{\b0|\boldsymbol{n}}\boldsymbol{z}^{\boldsymbol{n}}

and Exp[n\b0dnzn]=n\b0(1zn)dn\operatorname{Exp}[\sum_{\boldsymbol n\ne\b0}d_{\boldsymbol n}\boldsymbol z^{\boldsymbol n}]=\prod_{\boldsymbol n\ne\b0}(1-\boldsymbol z^{\boldsymbol n})^{-d_{\boldsymbol n}}. Neguț's Kac-polynomial dimension conjecture. For every quiver QQ,

χB\b0(z)=Exp[AQ(1,z)].\chi_{{\mathcal B}_{\b0}}(\boldsymbol{z})=\operatorname{Exp}[A_Q(1,\boldsymbol{z})].

Equivalently, B\b0{\mathcal B}_{\b0} should be isomorphic as a graded vector space to the symmetric algebra of a graded vector space with graded dimension AQ(1,z)A_Q(1,\boldsymbol z). The text motivates this as an interpretation of the positivity of Kac polynomials, but gives no resolution status.
