Asymptotic cosine conjecture for elliptic Faulhaber polynomials

Let Fm(λ)\mathcal{F}_m(\lambda) denote the elliptic Faulhaber polynomial and let B2m2\mathcal{B}_{2m-2} denote the corresponding elliptic Bernoulli number. For real xx in a finite interval, asymptotic cosine conjecture. As mm tends to infinity,

Fm(x2+x2)2B2m21cos2πx2π2.\frac{\mathcal{F}_m\left(\frac{x^2+x}{2}\right)}{2\mathcal{B}_{2m-2}}\longrightarrow\frac{1-\cos 2\pi x}{2\pi^2}.

The claim is known in the hyperbolic limit g2=g3=0g_2=g_3=0, which gives the usual Bernoulli polynomials. Its proposed justification uses the expected convergence of the Lamé density-of-states asymptotic expansion at integer x=nx=n, arising from finite-gapness, but the elliptic statement remains unproved.
