The assertion is false without a boundedness or uniform integrability condition. Take the upper half-plane
and . This function is harmonic and continuous on , with boundary value . The second coordinate of planar Brownian motion is one-dimensional Brownian motion, so its first hitting time of zero is finite almost surely. Nevertheless
The stopped local martingale is not uniformly integrable, which is exactly why optional stopping fails in the limit.
