Ouch....you mention my post too many times, I wouldn't like you to think I am a very reliable source LOL. My Japanese knowledge is way too poor to be a reliable source.

Anyway what I wanted to say with my post is that in my opinion it was something grammatically correct. Now, if it is used, old language or sound weird, that I don't know.
But remember that the discussion started from a set phrase. Those kinda phrases exist in every language and sometimes even to native speaker they don't make much more sense outside of that set context.
Moreover a native speaker in this forum told me how a greeting and a thanking word very much used in Japanese are Kansai dialect words, does that mean we speak kansai?
I guess your discussion should just stop to the grammar point of view. For other things either you are 100% understanding their culture or you will never fully understand it.
