Generalized Mumford conjecture for a nodal-curve moduli space

Let X0X_0 be an irreducible nodal curve with exactly one node, and let UX0(2,L0)U_{X_0}(2,\mathcal{L}_0) be the moduli space of rank-two semistable sheaves on X0X_0 with determinant L0\mathcal{L}_0, where L0\mathcal{L}_0 is an invertible sheaf of odd degree. Embed X0X_0 in a regular family π:XΔ\pi:\mathcal{X}\to\Delta with smooth fibers Xs\mathcal{X}_s for sΔs\in\Delta^*, and let PkmonP_k^{\mathrm{mon}} be the monodromy-invariant subspace of the primitive component PkP_k of H(MXs(2,LXs),Q)H^*(M_{\mathcal{X}_s}(2,\mathcal{L}|_{\mathcal{X}_s}),\mathbb{Q}). Generalized Mumford conjecture. The space PkmonP_k^{\mathrm{mon}} is independent up to isomorphism of the choice of the family π\pi, and

H(UX0(2,L0),Q)k=0gPkmonQ[α,β,γ]/Igk.H^*(U_{X_0}(2,\mathcal{L}_0),\mathbb{Q})\cong\bigoplus\limits_{k=0}^g P_k^{\mathrm{mon}}\otimes\mathbb{Q}[\alpha,\beta,\gamma]/I_{g-k}.

This proposes that the Mumford decomposition for smooth curves extends to the singular fixed-determinant moduli space through monodromy-invariant primitive pieces. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open here.
