Unstable circulants of twice an odd order

From papers

Let m>1m>1 be an odd integer, let n=2mn=2m, and let SZ2mS\subseteq\mathbb{Z}_{2m} define the connected, non-bipartite circulant graph

Γ=Cay(Z2m,S).\Gamma=\operatorname{Cay}(\mathbb{Z}_{2m},S).

The conjecture. The graph Γ\Gamma is unstable if and only if either there exists a nonzero h2Z2mh\in 2\mathbb{Z}_{2m} such that

S(2Z2m+h)=S2Z2m,S\cap(2\mathbb{Z}_{2m}+h)=S\cap 2\mathbb{Z}_{2m},

or

Cay(Z2m,S)Cay(Z2m,S+m).\operatorname{Cay}(\mathbb{Z}_{2m},S)\cong\operatorname{Cay}(\mathbb{Z}_{2m},S+m).

This is presented as a suggested extension of the paper's square-free-order result to arbitrary odd m>1m>1. The supplied text gives no evidence that the assertion has been proved or disproved.
