Asymptotic conjecture for the coefficient C_{011}(N)

Let Li2(z)\operatorname{Li_2}(z) be the dilogarithm, let w0w_0 be the unique solution of

Li2(w)+2πilog(w)=0,\operatorname{Li_2}(w)+2\pi i\log(w)=0,

with w00.916198+0.182459iw_0\approx 0.916198+0.182459i, and define

z0:=log(1w0)2πi+1.z_0:=\frac{\log(1-w_0)}{-2\pi i}+1.

Thus w0=1e2πiz0w_0=1-e^{-2\pi i z_0} and 1<Re(z0)<21<\operatorname{Re}(z_0)<2. The asymptotic conjecture for C011(N)C_{011}(N). One has

C011(N)=Re[(2z0eπiz0)w0NN2]+O(w0NN3).C_{011}(N)=\operatorname{Re}\left[(-2z_0e^{\pi i z_0})\frac{w_0^{-N}}{N^2}\right]+O\left(\frac{|w_0|^{-N}}{N^3}\right).

This gives a precise oscillatory asymptotic formula and implies that C011(N)C_{011}(N) does not converge. The source says that a slightly weaker version was being proved and that the main difficulty was controlling the error term.
