If app is rejeced in TestFlight beta review, does that affect the app store review of the same build?

Follow-up question to: this question

I submitted version 3.4 of my app for app store review. Then I enabled beta testing for that same build. Apple has (imo incorrectly) rejected that beta review build, while my app store submission still says "Waiting for Review".

My question is: does the beta rejection in any way affect the app store submission? In other words, can I ignore the beta rejection and plunge ahead with the app store build? (I don't want to wait 2 weeks only to find out that their web-site does not correctly handle this case.)

Only a single data-point, but I have had exactly the same binary fail the Testflight Beta review and pass the full app store review. Both were in review in parallel (I had a good release candidate but wanted to use the Beta process to get a version out quicker for some additional translation testing).

In this specific example, the app was slow(ish) to start (it downloads a lot of data for offline use) and I think the Testflight Beta reviewer was just less patient!

Apple's review process applies to all beta builds sent through their TestFlight service on iTunes Connect. Your build has failed this review process.

The AppStore process is identical. Your build will also fail there (if they even let you submit for review).
