Not surprising, given it would have seen many orders of magnitude less Lojban training data than its English input (basically two books and maybe a few megabytes of web pages).
The word by word translation sounds like it's trying to say that it isn't very competent at lojban, but that it can try to learn lojban if you provide it with parallel examples. All this said in broken lojban, as expected. Quite reasonable, actually.
