particle physics - status of +4/3 scalar as explanation of $tbar t$ asymmetry


One of the early proposals for the Tevatron asymmetry on $t \bar t$ was a "fundamental diquark" with a charge (and hypercharge) +4/3, either in a triplet or a sextet colour. I am interested on the current status of this proposal:


Generically, has some particular model of been favoured in ulterior research?



For starters, you can see the short report in JHEP 1109:097,2011, at the end of section 2, points 5 and 6. I only become aware of the survival of this hypothesis after seeing http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.0477 last week.
