KGT tells us that it's an error. A common error, to be sure, but still
an error. A generation from now, it might be accepted as standard
usage. :-)

A hypercorrection is usually a misapplication of a pattern. {lutu'lu'}
is a *correct* application. I'm going to do my best to avoid making
the {puqpu' tu'lu'} error myself. I'm certainly not planning to
intentionally say it wrong. However, I won't be too upset with myself
if I mess up. As we read in KGT, it happens. A lot.
