The unipotency conjecture for twisted function algebras

Let GG be a pro-algebraic group, let O(G){\cal O}(G) be its coordinate Hopf algebra over kk, and let JJ be a Hopf 22-cocycle for O(G){\cal O}(G). Write O(G)J{\cal O}(G)^J for the Hopf algebra obtained by twisting O(G){\cal O}(G) by JJ, and let SS denote its antipode.

Unipotency conjecture. The operator

S2S^2

is unipotent on O(G)J{\cal O}(G)^J.

This predicts that twisting the function algebra of any pro-algebraic group by a Hopf 22-cocycle cannot produce non-unipotent behavior for the square of the antipode. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
