Comon's conjecture for Hankel tensors

Let HHm(Cn)\mathcal{H}\in\operatorname{H}^m(\mathbb{C}^n) be any Hankel tensor, where rank(H)\operatorname{rank}(\mathcal{H}) denotes its tensor rank and rankS(H)\operatorname{rank}_S(\mathcal{H}) its symmetric rank. Comon's conjecture for Hankel tensors. For all Hankel tensors,

rank(H)=rankS(H).\operatorname{rank}(\mathcal{H})=\operatorname{rank}_S(\mathcal{H}).

This is proposed as a restricted form of Comon's conjecture. The unrestricted assertion for all symmetric tensors is known to be false by a counterexample of Y. Shitov, while the Hankel-tensor case remains open.
