CMPP conjecture on sequenceability of zero-sum subsets without inverse pairs

Let GG be an abelian group, and let AA be a finite subset of G{0}G\setminus\{0\}. An ordering a1,,aAa_1,\ldots,a_{|A|} of AA is sequenceable if its partial sums

pi=a1++aip_i=a_1+\cdots+a_i

are pairwise distinct and pi0p_i\ne 0 for every 1iA11\leq i\leq |A|-1. CMPP conjecture. Every subset AG{0}A\subseteq G\setminus\{0\} whose elements sum to zero and such that {x,x}⊄A\{x,-x\}\not\subset A for every xGx\in G is sequenceable. The conjecture concerns sequenceability in connection with Heffter arrays; the supplied text does not establish its general status, although it proves the claim for zero-sum subsets without inverse pairs of size at most 2323.
