Hi,

that is an error in the approximation of the StruveH[]
function, you can see this with

Plot[StruveH[1, ts], {ts, 20, 30}]

and 

Plot[StruveH[0, ts], {ts, 26, 29}]

because your integration result:

test = Integrate[BesselJ[0, t0], {t0, 0, ts}] // FunctionExpand

include the StruveH[] functions.

Regards
  Jens
