James's conjecture for weight-5 blocks of Hecke algebras

Let \hhh\hhh be a Hecke algebra and consider its blocks, with the weight of a block defined in the usual block-theoretic sense.

James's conjecture. James's conjecture holds for all weight 55 blocks of \hhh\hhh.

The claim is based on computations made while searching for the paper's counterexample. The source gives no proof or independent resolution, so the conjecture remains open as stated.
