A $(K, N, T, K_c)$ instance of the MDS-TPIR problem is comprised of $K$ messages and $N$ distributed servers. Each message is separately encoded through a $(K_c, N)$ MDS storage code. A user wishes to retrieve one message, as efficiently as possible, while revealing no information about the desired message index to any colluding set of up to $T$ servers. The fundamental limit on the efficiency of retrieval, i.e., the capacity of MDS-TPIR is known only at the extremes where either $T$ or $K_c$ belongs to $\{1,N\}$. The focus of this work is a recent conjecture by Freij-Hollanti, Gnilke, Hollanti and Karpuk which offers a general capacity expression for MDS-TPIR. We prove that the conjecture is false by presenting as a counterexample a PIR scheme for the setting $(K, N, T, K_c) = (2,4,2,2)$, which achieves the rate $3/5$, exceeding the conjectured capacity, $4/7$. Insights from the counterexample lead us to capacity characterizations for various instances of MDS-TPIR including all cases with $(K, N, T, K_c) = (2,N,T,N-1)$, where $N$ and $T$ can be arbitrary.
