Dušek's k=0k=0 conjecture for null homogeneous geodesics on g.o. spaces

From papers

Let G/HG/H be a pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous geodesic orbit space. A homogeneous geodesic is an orbit satisfying the geodesic lemma, whose parameter is governed by a scalar kk; for a null homogeneous geodesic, consider this scalar in the geodesic lemma.

Dušek's k=0k=0 conjecture. For all null homogeneous geodesics in G/HG/H, one has k=0k=0 in the geodesic lemma.

The paper's example is almost g.o. but not g.o., and therefore does not settle this restricted geodesic-orbit formulation. The authors state that the conjecture remains open for homogeneous g.o. spaces.
