Nonvanishing random entries in the character table of the symmetric group

From papers

Let λ,μn\lambda,\mu\vdash n be independently chosen random partitions of nn, and let χλ[μ]\chi^\lambda[\mu] denote the value of the irreducible character indexed by λ\lambda on the conjugacy class indexed by μ\mu. Random-character-table conjecture. Then

χλ[μ]0\chi^\lambda[\mu]\ne0

with high probability as nn\to\infty. This is posed as a natural question about random entries of the character table of SnS_n; the source gives no resolution and leaves it open.
