Compensation for unsigned supplemental round pick?

Do teams that do not sign their supplemental 1st round pick get the pick back in the following year's draft? I have heard a number of conflicting reports on this subject for "Yes" and "No". So can someone settle this once and for all? I'm sure some people might be interested since not all supplemental picks are signed. Linking to a source would be helpful, rather than just claiming one way or another.

Sure

There were 2 or 3 unsigned supplemental picks last year, and those teams got picks at the same spot this year.

AFAIK, the only picks that aren’t compensated are picks that were themselves generated by failing to sign a player the previous year (presumably so teams can’t “save” draft picks indefinitely).
