Bérczi's polynomial quotient conjecture for Thom-polynomial coefficients

Let the Thom generating function be

Tpk(z1,,zk)=m<l(zmzl)Qk(z1zk)m+rlk(zm+zrzl).\mathrm{Tp}_k(z_1,\ldots,z_k)=\frac{\prod_{m<l}(z_m-z_l)\,Q_k(z_1\ldots z_k)}{\prod_{m+r\le l\le k}(z_m+z_r-z_l)}.

For coefficient multi-indices i1,,iki_1,\ldots,i_k, consider neighbouring coefficients obtained by increasing ili_l by one and decreasing imi_m by one.

The conjecture is motivated by background and experimental evidence cited by the source. No proof or disproof is given there.
