But in Tanakh and Rabbinic Hebrew they are common.

I think the problem you have is more caused by the imprecision of "kein".
It could refer to "yeish shei'ein mesirin..." or "mesirin hatiq".

The comment is in a parenthetic code to a se'if about how tzipui with
gold or the leather of a non-kosher species would invalidate one's
tefillin.

IOW, the discussion is motive to UNcover tefillin.

I understood RYME as saying it is improper to leave the paper boxes
-- or today's plastic one -- on, but not a pesul like if it were
a more permanent tzipui.

I never heard of people being maqpid to remove the cover of the shel
yad, so I shared with RGD and the tzibbur to see if anyone had.

Or if I misunderstood what kind of tiq he's talking about.
