Yoshida's conjecture on CM period symbols and pi

Let KK be a CM field that is Galois over Q\mathbb{Q}, and let Φ\Phi be a CM type of KK. The quantities pK(id,σ)p_K(\operatorname{id},\sigma) are Shimura period symbols, and tr.degQ\operatorname{tr.deg}_{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}} denotes transcendence degree over Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}. Yoshida's conjecture.

tr.degQQ(π,pK(id,σ)σΦ)=1+[K:Q]/2.\operatorname{tr.deg}_{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}}\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\left(\pi,\,p_K(\operatorname{id},\sigma)\mid\sigma\in\Phi\right)=1+[K:\mathbb{Q}]/2.

The conjecture includes π\pi and was described by Yoshida as a consequence of Deligne's conjecture, itself a special case of Grothendieck's period conjecture. The source does not state a resolution.
