For some reason I thought the place structure of {bangu}
was "x1 is the language used by x2 in circumstances x3",
which would fit with my theory, but I see I was wrong about x3.

The expansion I would propose for {bau} then is:

broda bau ko'a = lo nu broda cu nu ko'a bangu

This expansion, which automatically creates an event place
for the main bridi, might also work for other BAIs that don't have
event/du'u places.
