It definitely falls under the category of "ok, I see what you're trying to get at".  I'd hear "mi kakne lo nu do citka" similar to a kid saying "I want to candy".  Cutely wrong, but I get what they're trying for.  I'd probably correct them (though not by raging that "no, that doesn't make sense, I don't understand what you're even trying to say").

You're always enlightening, lindar :)

The point is that what is grammatically correct, may or may not make
sense: it is a "speaker" responsibility to be as clear as possible and
it is a "listener" responsibility to try to understand what the
speaker says.

I personally prefer to have an interpretation for {ko'a kakne lo nu
ko'e broda} just saying that is a "non sense" doesn't seem to do any
good to anyone.
