In "lo cipni cu siclu lo melbi vau .iu", does the referent of ".iu"
includes "lo cipni"?

From CLL 19:8:

An attitudinal meant to cover a whole sentence can be attached to the preceding ``.i'', expressed or understood:

8.5)  [.i] .ia mi viska le blanu zdani
    [belief] I see the blue house
    I believe I see a blue house.

or to an explicit ``vau'' placed at the end of a bridi.

So the {.iu} in your example refers to the entire bridi, and not specifically to {lo cipni}; presumably one could love beautiful birdsong without loving birds.
