The result is obtained considering an rather general class of backgrounds, adding further generality and consistency test for the previous work. The proposed result has direct consequences on earlier works in the literature that found gravity related corrections for similar setups and in the measurability of future vacuum weight experiments. We also investigate higher order corrections using a simplified toy model geometry, finding nonzero corrections in this case.
