A similar behaviour is for {cortu}.

By default {mi cortu lo xance} = {mi cortu lo xance be mi}

The second {mi} of course can be changed but only if we are talking about Avatar technologies.
Still by default it is the same as x1 of the outer bridi, i.e. cortu1.

I think you will find this behavior in most of the gismu that contain the word "locus" in their definition.

But I don't like this wording:

"x2 (object; by default the second place of which is the same as x1)"

Objects don't have argument places, and besides, even though most, perhaps all, body-part gismu have the "body" in x2, there's no rule that a body-part can only be referred to with a body-part word. You could say "mi cortu lo te jgari", and that should not mean "lo te jgari be mi" by default. You could say:

"x2 (object; a locus on x1)" or something like that.

 

I'm not sure about sevzi2 but I think it should also be x1 be default so that 
{mi catra lo sevzi} = {mi catra lo sevzi be mi}.

This is something quite different, but in the definition of "sevzi" you should be talking about the places of "sevzi", not the places of "catra" or any selbri in which "lo sevzi" could be used as an argument.
