Four-Terminal Planar Case of the Dinitz-Garg-Goemans Cost Conjecture

Does the Dinitz-Garg-Goemans cost-preserving unsplittable-flow rounding conjecture survive on acyclic planar instances with only four terminals? An explicit instance answers no: every cost-nonincreasing unsplittable routing has upper overload at least $335$ while the maximum demand is $294$.
