I agree, that's what it should mean.
But isn't it extremely odd that {lo prenu na klama gi'e citka} means
"there is some person who doesn't go but does eat", and {lo prenu na
klama} does NOT mean "there is a person who doesn't go"?
Of course, the problem here is with the rules for {na}, not {gi'e}.

We can say that, but it is a horribly ad hoc rule.
