The ellipse conjecture for interior points associated with circumcenters

From papers

Let ABCABC be a triangle, and let DD be a point such that A,B,C,OA,OB,OCA,B,C,O_A,O_B,O_C lie on a conic, where OAO_A, OBO_B, and OCO_C are the circumcenters of triangles BCDBCD, ACDACD, and ABDABD, respectively.

Ellipse conjecture. The set of all interior points DD of the triangle ABCABC satisfying this condition is an ellipse.

This problem arises in the study of geometric loci defined by conics and circumcenters. The source presents the assertion as a further-research problem, and no resolution is supplied here.
