The type A_2 shift conjecture for supported edge chains

Let Δ\Delta be the Bruhat–Tits building, let X\mathbb{X} be the coefficient system, let X0,2X_{0,2} be the specified set of edges, and let II be the relevant subgroup. Let C1(Δ,X)C_1(\Delta,\mathbb{X}) be the space of edge chains and let ε0\varepsilon_0 be the boundary map. A chain is (I,1)(I,1)-shift invariant when it has the shift-invariance property defined in the source. Shift-invariance conjecture. If βC1(Δ,X)\beta\in C_1(\Delta,\mathbb{X}) is non-zero only on edges in X0,2X_{0,2}, and ε0(β)\varepsilon_0(\beta) is non-zero only on vertices in Δ1\Delta_1, then β\beta is (I,1)(I,1)-shift invariant.

This conjecture is motivated by the preceding shift results, which show that shift invariance would allow one to move the chain into a smaller region. The supplied text does not give a resolution.
