Back in the 90s, when tu'e and jai were added to the language, NickNicholas frequently talked about metonymy, and he may have discussed this issue. If you look in the Lojban List archives for "metonymy" it might be easy to find, since that word hasn't popped up too often outside Nick's discussions. Ah, that means I'm not the first one thinking about this issue. I couldn't find the archives. Do you know where they are? I'd like to look at those discussions. (Or is the discussion too old to have been archived?)
Easiest solution is to go to google groups. Select lojban, search for "metonymy" in that group. It looks like others besides Nick mentioned the topic back in the 90s
