Symmetric-placement prefix-exchange conjecture

From papers

Let μ\mu be a self-conjugate shape, and let μsym(σ)\mu_{sym}(\sigma) be the number of symmetric full placements on μ\mu that avoid the pattern σ\sigma. Symmetric-placement prefix-exchange conjecture. For every kk and every self-conjugate shape μ\mu,

μsym(12k)=μsym(k21).\mu_{sym}(12\ldots k)=\mu_{sym}(k\ldots21).

This is a placement-level strengthening of the prefix-exchange phenomenon for involution pattern avoidance. The source presents the assertion as a conjecture, with no resolution given there.
