Is it? Google finds only one use, namely in the "Lojban Anthem", and
it doesn't seem to be used to mean "ungrammatical":

".i .e'o ko cu klina selcusku gi'e jicla le no'e farvi pe ri'a le nu
seljimte loi malgerna"
"Please be clearly expressed, stirring the stagnation caused by the
limits of Grammar." (lojbab's translation)
"Please be said clearly, and mix that which half-way ends up inside
the boundaries of bad grammar." (tsali's translation)

There are some hits (though not very many) for "na gendra", "na'e
gendra" and "nalgendra", which is what I would have said was the usual
way of saying "ungrammatical".
