I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but the first one that comes to my mind is this.
$e+\pi$ is rational.
I think most mathmaticiansmathematicians would agree that it is ridiculous. It would follow from Schanuel's conjecture that it is false, but as far as I know, the conjecture is wide open, and when it comes to (ir)rationality of $e+\pi$, more or less all that is known is the (elementary) fact that either $e+\pi$ or $e\cdot\pi$ is transcendental (naturally, we expect both of them to be transcendental, so it doesn't really get us any closer to a proof).
I'm not sure when it was made publicly, but it is very natural and unlikely to not have been considered before (I heard about it as an undergrad around 2010). I think it is quite important in that it is an obvious test case for Schanuel's conjecture, and in that it would certainly be quite shocking if it was true.
(Caveat: I am not a specialist, so if someone more competent can contradict me, please do!)
