I don't see the difference between those two. They seem to be equivalent at least so far as "where are you going?" and "tell me where you are going" are equivalent.
>> "Where are you going, and are you obeying my order to go there." >> (question dominates)
That doesn't seem a likely interpretation for "ko klama ma", because it introduces a yes/no question absent from the Lojban.
I think the other interpretation is "where am I ordering you to go?"
It seems to me both interpretations are somewhat rhetorical: you decide where to go, and that's where I'm telling you to go, I'm not going to decide for you; or, you already know where I'm telling you to go, don't make me repeat myself.
