Random character values on self-conjugate principal hooks

From papers

Let λn\lambda\vdash n be a uniformly random partition of nn, and let μ\mu be a uniformly random self-conjugate partition of nn. Write μ^\widehat\mu for the principal-hook partition of μ\mu. Random self-conjugate-character conjecture. Then

χλ[μ^]=0\chi^\lambda[\widehat\mu]=0

with high probability as nn\to\infty. The claim is motivated heuristically by rim-hook and limit-shape considerations, while the source gives only partial evidence and leaves the conjecture open.
