I think it's less strange if you consider the conversion formula to be:

lo broda brode ~= lo brode pe lo broda

Now you can plug in any broda you want, one possible candidate being 
{.tato'ebas.}, so that {lo jufra pe *lo* .tato'ebas.}. That way there is 
no difference between a cmevla- and a brivla-seltau. There only seems to 
be one because cmevla are always names, so you don't need the extra step 
of adding {me la} (because this is already part of the cmevla's 
definition).
