'xonjo' has an agent?

Rick,
K-E has:

>xonjo    wants to be a successful teacher. "Xonjo" can apply only to the agent
    that is successful. For a successful focus (such as a successful
    project), use "maxonjo".

"Xo" by itself is an A/P-d verb (='xompa'), with an agent, but 'xonja' is P/F-d.  There is no agent.  Yet above, it says 'xonjo' applies only to the AGENT that is successful.  Shouldn't it say "only to the patient that is successful"?
