I must say that I remain skeptical.
This is not saying that they are definitely wrong of course.
However, there are a number of real anomalies in the text of the MS. Whenever I see a new proposed solution, I look out for anything that has a chance of explaining these.
In the present case we don't have a lot of information, but what is there, is largely the same as most other proposed solutions: a meaningful text in some language using an alphabetical script that has some minor form of encryption.
The strange properties seem to 'just arise', and that is not really a very satisfactory explanation.
