We see all forms. I don't think Okrand made up his mind about *-'egh + 
-moH* until KGT, so some earlier words violate it. I also think *'egh + 
-moH* may not apply to every imperative on every /be-/verb; it's used 
for things you have to actively do yourself, even if that's only a 
grammatical pretext. I don't think *-choH* necessarily negates the need 
for *-'egh* and *-moH.*
