Alan: It's green.
Lieven: Indeed, it's gloop.
SuStel: No, it's green.

You said "So it IS true that the /word/ has a first person object, but 
the prefix itself does NOT."

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean.

A prefix does not /have/ an object; it /indicates/ an object. A prefix 
like *vI-* can indicate a third-person object /or/ a first-person 
object, depending on whether the subject is definite or indefinite.
