The difference is that {ba'e} acts on a word, whereas most UIs don't.
If you say {djordj iu} you express love for George, not for the word
{djordj}. If you say {ba'e djordj} on the other hand, you emphasize the
word {djordj}, not George the person (what would it mean to emphasize a
person?). So UIs may require more than a single word because they act 
on what the word points to, and gadri by themselves don't point to 
anything. I agree that the CLL example would seem to support your 
view, though.
