Are these also valid?

gejyspa already commented on the second sentence, but more importantly the third sentence is actually grammatically incorrect in that {fi la .lojban.} is a completely separate sumti from {lo cilre}. You have to use {be} to "inject" {fi la .lojban.} into {cilre} so that you are left with a single _expression_:

{mi'e lo cilre be fi la .lojban.}
"I am learner-about-Lojban."

(selpa'i is correct.  I blame tiredness for omitting that fact)

         --geyspa

 
Similarly, {lo klama be lo tcadu} is a goer to the city, but {lo klama lo tcadu} is two sumti -- "A goer, a city".

But you could also just say {mi cilre fi la .lojban.} instead of using {mi'e}.
