The exact-half reformulation of Poonen's conjecture

Let F\mathcal{F} be a union-closed family of sets, and suppose that a most frequent element of U(F)U(\mathcal{F}) belongs to exactly half the sets in F\mathcal{F}. Exact-half conjecture. Then F\mathcal{F} must be a power set.

This is presented as a weakening of Poonen's refinement of Frankl's conjecture. The source gives no resolution, so the claim remains open.
