This particular "misuse" is sanctioned by the Codex, which
has examples for both the definitional senses of {ni} and {jei},
and for their usage senses. The definitional sense is never
used in practice (except perhaps {jei} by And).
I never use {jei} because I find {du'u xukau} perfectly
satisfactory. In the case of {ni} the matter is less clear,
but even the gi'uste has many places marked as (ka/ni).
In any case, it is something that does need paying attention to.
