Converse to the alpha-one theorem for Q-key polynomials

From papers

Let α\alpha be a symmetric weak composition, and let a P-key polynomial mean a polynomial of the form κηP\kappa^\mathsf{P}_\eta for a skew-symmetric weak composition η\eta. Converse conjecture. If καQ\kappa^\mathsf{Q}_\alpha is a scalar multiple of a P-key polynomial, then

α1=0.\alpha_1=0.

This is presented as the converse to the proved identity relating Q-key and P-key polynomials when α1=0\alpha_1=0 and is supported by computations; no resolution is given.
