You are absolutely right. There is nothing wrong with {spageti}
as a fu'ivla. If {ko bevri re spageti palta} can be misheard,
then by the same criteria {ko bevri re spati palta} can be
misheard as {ko bevri respa ti palta} (also ungrammatical).

{djarspageti} is NOT a type-3 fu'ivla. Only consonant ending
rafsi can be used in type-3. {djarspageti} happens to be a
valid fu'ivla, but for example {djarpitsa} is not (it fails
slinku'i).
