I think belief conflicts might work, even if the same values are shared.

You can solve belief conflicts simply by trading in a prediction market with decision-contingent contracts (a "decision market"). Value conflicts are more general than that.

Value conflicts are more general than that.

I think this is misusing the word "general." Value conflicts are more narrow than the full class of games that have the PD preference ordering. I do agree that value conflicts are harder to resolve than belief conflicts, but that doesn't make them more general.
