I would say jo'u gives the same as joi, or perhaps it is ambiguous,
but I can't see it as forcing a distributive modification.

Right, but that's really the same case:

   lo speni cu zbasu lo pelnimre fa'u ri'ornimre nanba [da fa'u de]
= lo speni cu zbasu lo pelnimre nanba [da] .i lo speni cu zbasu lo
ri'ornimre nanba [de]

The modifier is distributed whether there is an explicit second fa'u
or not, and the meaning doesn't really change.
