In a recent article [{\it Functions on a convex set which are both ω\omega-semiconvex and ω\omega-semiconcave I}, J. Convex Analysis 29 (2022) 837--856] we proved with L.\,Zaj{\'\i\v c}ek that if GRnG\subset\R^n is an unbounded open convex set that does not contain a translation of a convex cone with non-empty interior, then there exist f:GRf:G\to\R and a concave modulus ω\omega such that limtω(t)=\lim_{t\to\infty}\omega(t)=\infty, ff is both semiconvex and semiconcave with modulus ω\omega and fC1,ω(G)f\notin C^{1,\omega}(G). Here we improve the previous result as follows: If GG is as above and ω(t)=tα\omega(t)=t^{\alpha} for some α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1), then there exists f:GRf:G\to\R that is both semiconvex and semiconcave with modulus ω\omega and fC1,α(G)f\notin C^{1,\alpha}(G). This result has immediate consequences concerning a first-order quantitative converse Taylor theorem and the problem whether fC1,α(G)f\in C^{1,\alpha}(G) whenever ff is smooth in a corresponding sense on all lines.
