I thought I remembered initial examples of lutu’lu’ and later examples of tu’lu’ later where lutu’lu’ would have been called for, and when that was pointed out, it just became tu’lu’ by convention, but it’s a very old memory, and I’m not one of the wizards of canon.

Possibly, but I think it's more likely that tu'lu' is a fixed expression. It's described separately in TKD and its very first use lacks a seemingly required lu-. Whether the fixed expression derives from lutu'lu' with a dropped lu- is unknown.
