It's not just in cmevla, it also doesn't make a difference in cmavo.

ba'e (without any stress), BA'e and ba'E are all the same word. I
suppose you don't dispute that.

It is only brivla that require penultimate stress, the other words
just usually follow suit, but don't require it. You are also free to
stress more than one syllable in a cmevla, which you can't do in
brivla, no matter how long.

"xorxes" and "djordj" are two different names in Lojban, but it
doesn't bother me at all to be called "djordj", it is actually one of
my nicknames.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
