Extension of Rudolph's mod-2 relation to decorated Kauffman satellite invariants

Let LL be a framed unoriented link with components LiL_i, and let yλiy_{\lambda_i} and Qλi,λiQ_{\lambda_i,\lambda_i} denote the corresponding Kauffman and Homfly annular decorations for partitions λi\lambda_i. The parameter satisfies z=ss1z=s-s^{-1} unless the relevant partition is self-conjugate. Extension of Rudolph's relation. Decorate each component LiL_i of LL by yλiy_{\lambda_i}. The Kauffman polynomial of this decorated link, with v,sv,s replaced by v2,s2v^2,s^2 and the coefficients reduced modulo 22, should equal the modulo-22 reduction of the Homfly polynomial of LL when each LiL_i is decorated by Qλi,λiQ_{\lambda_i,\lambda_i}. This would extend Rudolph's known case λ=1|\lambda|=1 to general Kauffman satellite invariants; the available evidence is limited, so the assertion remains open.
