In {mi nelci ko'a ne semau ko'e} isn't {ne semau} always expanded into {noi ke'a no'a semau ko'e}?

It's more like: "noi ke'a zmadu ko'e lo ka no'a xi pa".

Yes, of course, that's what I meant. Change "lo nu broda" to "la'e di'u" if you prefer, or a more precise reference to the event described by the first "broda".

isnt' la'edi'u refer to the previous utterance, not to the immediately preceding main clause? 

Yes, that's why I said "or a more precise reference". What counts as an utterance is not precisely delimited, but in these simple examples, the only available candidate is the preceding clause. In general that wouldn't work.
