In short: the former. Note that this is not Word of BPFK, merely Word of Tsani (with agreement from several others, myself included).
That's the reasonable answer, backed up by the parsing structure.
A related point is that quantifiers in a be-argument shouldn't be exportable to the main prenex, because they belong to the definition of the new selbri created by "be". This can be used to give a quantifier that appears later in the sentence scope over one that appeared earlier, but inside a be-argument.
