I don't see any problem with this.
I can only think of one canonical example of *-meH* on a question, and
it's a lousy example. *qIpmeH Qatlh'a'*/difficult to hit?/ (ST5) It's a
bad example because it's talking about being difficult for the purpose
of hitting, which is not really the purpose of being difficult.
