I see this distinction as similar to the differences in order with -qu' and 
-be' (I think there's an example in TKD that uses something like 
HoHqangbe'qu' vs. HoHqangqu'be' vs. HoHqu'qangbe')

{vIvemmoH vIneHbe'}
I don't *want* to wake him, (but I have to wake him so that he can go to work)

{vIvemmoHbe' vIneH}
I want to not wake her (because I want her to oversleep and be late for work)
