Stability conjecture for irreducible polynomials of the form zd+1/cz^d+1/c

From papers

Let d3d\geq 3 be an integer, let cZ{0}c\in\mathbb{Z}\setminus\{0\}, and set f(z)=zd+1cf(z)=z^d+\frac{1}{c}. The polynomial ff is irreducible over Q\mathbb{Q} when it is irreducible as a polynomial in Q[z]\mathbb{Q}[z], and it is stable over Q\mathbb{Q} when every iterate fn(z)f^n(z) is irreducible over Q\mathbb{Q}.

Stability conjecture. If f(z)=zd+1cf(z)=z^d+\frac{1}{c} is irreducible over Q\mathbb{Q}, then f(z)f(z) is stable over Q\mathbb{Q}.

The paper proves stability in several families of degrees and notes that the claim is implied by the explicit abcabc-conjecture. The general assertion remains open.
