Conjugacy invariance under root-avoiding simple reflection shifts

Let GG be a twisted reductive group over an algebraically closed field, with Borel subgroup BB. Let WW be its corresponding Weyl group, let wWw\in W, and let sis_i be a simple reflection such that αiVw\alpha_i\notin V_w. Set w:=siwsiw':=s_iws_i. Root-avoiding shift conjecture. For every conjugacy class CC in GG,

CBwBif and only ifCBwB.C\cap BwB\neq\varnothing\qquad\textrm{if and only if}\qquad C\cap Bw'B\neq\varnothing.

This asserts that the relevant Bruhat-double-coset incidence is unchanged under the specified conjugation step; no resolution evidence is supplied in the candidate text.
