Wrong on both counts.

Where:

A = "lojban is fully defined."
B = "lojban is complete."
C = "lojban is a functioning language."

"lojban is not a fully defined, complete and functioning language" = "lojban is not A, B, and C." = "lojban is not (A, B, and C)." = {.i la.lojban. na mulno smugau je mulno je tolpo'u bangu}

"lojban is not fully defined, or lojban is not complete, or lojban is not a functioning language." = "lojban is (not A) or (not B) or (not C)." = {.i la.lojban. na mulno smugau gi'a na mulno gi'a na tolpo'u bangu}

If A = "lojban is fully defined." then "lojban is not A" means "lojban is not "lojban is fully defined."." Decide what A, B and C mean.

In any case, this is what I meant:
"It is not true that lojban is fully defined and that lojban is complete and that lojban is a functioning language."

That *must* be equivalent to:
"lojban is not fully defined, or lojban is not complete, or lojban is not a functioning language."
