Zappa sez:

1. dxe6 fxe6 2. Rd7 Bf4 3. Rxg7 Qxg7 4. Qxa8 Qf8 5. Qxa7 Qf5 6. Qa1 Kf7 7. Qd1 K
e8 8. Kh1
 = (2.96)       Depth: 13/41    00:01:25.15     26431663kN

After forcing 1. g3
1...Bxg3 2. hxg3 exd5 3. Rxd5 Qb8 4. Qe7 Qe8 5. Rd7
 = (-2.86)      Depth: 12/24    00:00:21.79     7899468kN

So yeah, I would say that it is a solution.  In fact, with a slightly better
eval Zappa might play 1. g3; as a human I'd rather be up a piece than up two
doubled pawns on the queenside.
