Here is another hard case:

 lo nixli .e lo nanla cu lumci vo'a

Who washes whom?

In that case, I think, everyone washes everyone, including themselves. Because I think you ought to expand {vo'a} before expanding {.e}. Hence,
{ko'a .e ko'e lumci vo'a} =>
{ko'a .e ko'e lumci ko'a .e ko'e} =>
{ko'a lumci ko'a .i je ko'e lumci ko'a .i je ko'a lumci ko'e .i je ko'e lumci ko'e}

I don't know if there's a *rule* stating you'd expand {.e} before {vo'a}, but it wouldn't make sense to me at all.
