What I find confusing about this is that the sumti tagged by
za'o here is taken to be a location, whereas in general I would
expect it to be a time or an event. Perhaps the example would
work better with {fe'e za'o}, but I don't know.

In general, I would use the sumti tagged by za'o to indicate
the point of natural completion of the event. So {za'o broda}
could be expressed as {broda za'o lo nu mo'u broda}, "it is
still brodaing beyond the completion of brodaing". It is of
course pointless to repeat the main selbri like that, but the
point of completion can also be indicated by any other event
that somehow points to it. So for example

ko'a ko'e bajra javni za'o lo nu pagre le fanmo linji
"They kept on racing (run competing) beyond the crossing
of the finish line"

{lo nu pagre le fanmo linji} would normally indicate the
natural end of the event, but the bajra javni goes on beyond
that point.
