If it's a bug, it's intentional. camxes will break the enclosed text
into words as much as possible, and "gyrations" is a valid cmevla and
cannot break into the two words "gy rations", so there is no way that
the "gy" of "gyrations" can be taken as the closing ZOI delimiter
word. In that position "gy" is not a possible word.

If the example had been for example "zoi gy gyrate gy", then yes it
would break, because "gyrate" is three cmavo "gy ra te". That would be
a better example for what CLL is saying there.

The delimiters are supposed to be valid Lojban words, not just any
phoneme string.
