Break granted. I honestly did not intend to cause angst. Typed text is a remarkably imperfect communication medium.

My issue is that {-chuqlu’} has to have a plural subject. There doesn’t seem to be any other setting in which {-lu’} implies a plural Indefinite subject. That makes it exceptional.
Does the language grant that exception? You say it obviously does. Don't put words into my mouth. I'm not granting exceptions here.
You are correct that the text of TKD says that -chuq must be used with plural subjects. On that basis, it is fair enough to say that there is some question whether an indefinite subject qualifies.
Is it obvious to most Klingonists, or do you have a unique certainty? Gimme a break. I offered an opinion, that using -chuq and -lu' together offers no conceptual difficulty.
