Yes.
However, for me, the issue here is that we (hopefully..) agree
that there are different parse trees (which yield the different meanings).

camxes only produces one parse tree for that.
If you think it should produce more then one, raise a bug report.

Monoparsing does, by no means, imply that there is only one interpretation
of a sentence. It only means that you don't have to deal with these different
interpretations on a shallow level when parsing the sentence.
If you want to be ambiguous, be ambiguous. .i ko vinji co'e
