I see it otherwise. A sentence with {ko} is always a command, not a
question about a command. So for me this is something like {ko klama i
do klama ma}, ie. 'Go! Where will you go?'.

Again, {xu} is a question about {klama}, not about "command"/{minde}.
I think this sentence is somewhat strained, but for me it would mean
"Go! Will you go and where?"
