Contraction groups in complete Kac-Moody groups

Let $G$ be an abstract Kac-Moody group over a finite field and $\bar{G}$ be the closure of the image of $G$ in the automorphism group of its positive building. We show that if the Dynkin diagram associated to $G$ is irreducible and neither of spherical nor of affine type, then the contraction groups of elements in $\bar{G}$ which are not topologically periodic are not closed. (In those groups there always exist elements which are not topologically periodic.)
