Habiro's integrality conjecture for boundary bottom tangles

Set v=exph2v=\exp\frac{h}{2} and q=v2q=v^2, and let JTJ_T denote the universal sl2sl_2 invariant of a bottom tangle. For an nn-component bottom tangle, let (Uˉqev)  ~  ~n(\bar U_q^{ev})\;\tilde {}^{\;\tilde \otimes n} be Habiro's specified Z[q,q1]\mathbb{Z}[q,q^{-1}]-subalgebra of (U~qev)~n(\tilde {\mathcal{U}}_q^{ev})^{\tilde \otimes n}. A bottom tangle is boundary if it bounds mutually disjoint Seifert surfaces in [0,1]3[0,1]^3. Habiro's conjecture. If TT is an nn-component boundary bottom tangle with 00-framing, then

JT(Uˉqev)  ~  ~n.J_T\in (\bar U_q^{ev})\;\tilde {}^{\;\tilde \otimes n}.

This conjecture predicts a stronger integrality property for the universal sl2sl_2 invariant of boundary bottom tangles. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture is resolved.
