While that is what the text would imply, without explicit confirmation or contradiction from actual examples, I find myself wanting to default to the {vIje' jIH rIntaH} version, the main reason for this being the fact that {rIntaH} is marked as having a third person subject. My intuition is to treat this construction as essentially a shortening of {SENTENCE rIntaH 'e'}.
Is that {'e'} supposed to be the *subject* of {rIntaH}? {'e'} can't do that. The construction is really an emphatic version of {vIje'ta' jIH}. The {rIntaH} is effectively replacing {-ta'} here. -- De'vID
