I don't think that's right. If the string is invalid, both parsers
should say it is invalid. If they say anything else, it is a bug.

Make it grammatically valid:

lo'u musSTElaVIson le'u lojbo valsi

I'm not so sure. I'm inclined to say it is not wrong, because the
rules for identifying cmene are purely *morphological*. They should
not rely on identifying the preceding "la" as a gadri. Any syllable
"la" will allow the cmene to skip the initial pause.
