Flow-closedness conjecture for the norm-square of a complex moment map

Let KK be a compact group acting linearly on a vector space, and let μC\mu_\mathbb{C} be an associated complex moment map. The function μC2|\mu_\mathbb{C}|^2 is flow-closed.

Flow-closedness conjecture. If μC\mu_\mathbb{C} is a complex moment map associated to a linear action by a compact group KK on a vector space, then μC2|\mu_\mathbb{C}|^2 is flow-closed.

This conjecture would reduce the question of Kirwan surjectivity for hyperkähler quotients to the established surjectivity criterion for μC2|\mu_\mathbb{C}|^2 when the function is flow-closed. The source does not state whether the conjecture is resolved.
