Does this imply that there *might* well be a precedent for the
hypercorrection of the diqduq of Ashkenazi siddurim to leshon Tanakh?

That presumes that gezeiros are constructionist -- an opinion that might
have been the Rambam's, if anyone's, and even that isn't so clear.

But otherwise, we accept that lo signov is limited to geneivas nefashos
because that's the only way TBSK and the din via TSBP miSinai fit
together.
