I think the rule is: they need a full stop if they begin with a vowel or
follow anything but {la} {lai} {doi}. ({la'i} also belongs to selma'o LA but
is not one of the "magic syllables" that can't occur in a word, so {la'i
.mat.} "The set of those named <Mat>" needs the pause at the start of
{.mat.}.)

The need for a pause is not restricted to when cmevla follow COI.

(names) and
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=194#s9
(rules for pauses; in particular subrules 2+3+4), from the Lojban Reference
Grammar draft.

Though as "any two words may have a pause between them" (CLL draft ch4
s9.1), {doi .djim.} is not incorrect.

BTW {doi} is not necessary in {ki'esai doi .djim.} -- you could also write
merely {ki'esai .djim.}.
