If it is, it is indeed a boundary case.

It is a brivla at least in parser terms:
"a. Token sequences of the form any - (ZEI - any) ..., where 
there may be any number of ZEIs, are merged into a single token 
of selma'o BRIVLA."

Also, for example in the rule
lerfu-word = BY | any-word BU 

{zei zei lujvo} is a case of "any-word". So {zei zei lujvo bu} 
(but only at the beginning of text!) is a lerfu-word.
