The BPFK grammar processes magic words left-to-right, in general. After the bu is read, the string ".a bu" works like a single word for any following magic words, so for example, a single si deletes it, another bu creates a the logical word ".a bu bu", and, yes, adding "zei broda" creates the logical word ".a bu zei broda".
See https://mw.lojban.org/papri/magic_words_in_Lojban#Examples for more.
jbovlaste uses the same grammar to classify words, so if the word wasn't valid, it would have refused to add it.

I see. I was using jboski's parser and it used zei first. Thank you for clarifying.
