Besides the contrasting use of ja'a, I can think of one
situation where their grammar is different: {bai ja'a broda}
and {bai cu broda} parse differenly (any other tag will do
instead of {bai}). {cu} forces a terminator {ku} after the
tag, but {ja'a} doesn't. I'm not sure whether this ever
produces a significant change of meaning, though. Maybe
yes if {ba'oku} is like {ba'o zo'e} rather than like {ba'o broda}.
