(BTW, don't you think that "la" is necessary with names to indicate that it
isn't just the name/label etc. itself but a person referred
to by it?)

Nope, not in this case.  {mi'e} is used to introduce the label to be applied
to the speaker, not to introduce the speaker, and that label is "aulun"  The
{la} is needed in other contexts to show its function there, as a sumti, but
here the label is mentioned, not used.
