Constant-exponent conjecture for regular relative connections

Let II be open, let XX be connected and affinoid with a finite Shilov boundary, and let E\mathcal{E} be a regular connection of rank nn. Suppose there are xXx\in X, a closed subinterval JIJ\subseteq I of positive length, and AZpnA\in\mathbb{Z}_p^n with pp-adic non-Liouville differences such that AA is an exponent for Ex\mathcal{E}_x on JJ. Constant-exponent conjecture. Then for every xXx\in X, AA is an exponent for Ex\mathcal{E}_x. This would show that, under the stated non-Liouville hypothesis, an exponent observed on one fiber is constant across a connected affinoid base; the preceding variable-exponent example shows why a connectedness hypothesis is relevant. No resolution is supplied here.
