Generalized Hurwitz conjecture for zeros of Bessel function derivatives

Let nN0n\in\mathbb{N}_0. For a real parameter ν\nu, write Jν(n)J_{\nu}^{(n)} for the nnth derivative of the Bessel function of the first kind with respect to its argument. Generalized Hurwitz conjecture. If ss is a nonnegative integer and

n2s2<ν<n2s1,n-2s-2<\nu<n-2s-1,

then Jν(n)J_{\nu}^{(n)} has 4s+24s+2 complex zeros, of which two are purely imaginary. If ss is a positive integer and

n2s1<ν<n2s,n-2s-1<\nu<n-2s,

then Jν(n)J_{\nu}^{(n)} has 4s4s complex zeros, of which none are purely imaginary. This would provide a complete analogue of Hurwitz's theorem for derivatives of Bessel functions; the claim is posed as a question in the paper, and its resolution is not supplied.
