[lojban] The strange case of "le me by moi"

[Robin Lee Powell <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

A sentence including a construct like

    le me by moi

appears in Alice.  I have no idea what it means.

According to the BNF, this is not only legal but explicitely legal:

    ME # sumti /MEhU#/ [MOI #]

grammar.300 agrees:

    |  ME_477  sumti_90  MEhU_gap_465  MOI_476

So unless I'm seriously confused, there should be no problem parsing the
example sentence as "le me by me'u moi".

Despite this, neither the official parser nor jbofihe parse the example
sentence, although they parse "le me by me'u moi" just fine.

I'm wondering if anyone has a reason for this.  I suspect LR(1) issues,
but I'm not sure.
