Injectivity of evaluation on infinitely many roots of unity

Let ZZ be an infinite subset of the set of all roots of unity over Q\mathbb{Q}, and let

τN,ZZ ⁣:Z[q]NPZ(Z)\tau ^{\mathbb Z} _{\mathbb N,Z}\colon {\mathbb Z [q]^{{\mathbb N}}}\longrightarrow P_Z(\mathbb Z)

be the homomorphism induced by evaluating polynomials at the elements of ZZ. Injectivity conjecture. For any infinite subset ZZ, the homomorphism τN,ZZ\tau ^{\mathbb Z} _{\mathbb N,Z} is injective. This asserts that an element of the cyclotomic completion of Z[q]\mathbb Z[q] is determined by its values on any infinite collection of roots of unity; the supplied text does not state whether the claim is known or open.
