2) Is the objection valid? Have we ever explicitly claimed that cmene
suffixes of this kind should be rafsi (plus or minus final schwa)? I'm
fairly sure these forms originated from Lojban Central...


No.  Names are what you call them and no one would call it {vocacr} when
{vocac} does as well (though {vocacr} is not a problem for people who have
vocalic r's naturally distinct from sloppy schwas).  In practice, if not in
form, these critters go back to Loglan (and so to before rafsi even), but
since they are names, it dosen't matter.
