I would be very surprised if lojban wouldn't allow curses and insults.  
Considering how rich is Lojban in expressing emotions, why should cursing  
and swaring be left out?

I would dream of a vocative, say {do'au} of selma'o DOI. You could say  
{do'au plise} and everyone would understand that it is intendend to be an  
insult, whether or not to be an apple offends them. Of course {do'aunai  
xalci} would not be meant to be an insult even if I would be probably  
offended.

Alternatively an emotional (say {zo'au} of selma'o UI5) could be used with  
the meaning of "offensively - no offense intended".

To me, it would seem the most lojbanic way to swear/course. The point is  
not if a particular analogy or name is offensive but if the intention is to  
offend.
