do all nu's happen?

I think you are convincing me (again!) that you're right.

But it is not only intentional gismu that would be affected.
Consider for example

cfari: x1 [state/event/process] commences/initiates/starts/begins to occur;

Now, something can begin to occur but never reach its end. So the
x1 of cfari should really be a {du'u} as well:

                le du'u mi klama le zarci pu cfari gi'enai ku'i mulno
                My going to the market started to happen but wasn't
completed.

I couldn't use {nu} because there was no full event of me going to the
market.

What's more (horror of horrors!) the x1 of {fasnu} has to be a {du'u},
otherwise we couldn't say things like:

                le du'u mi klama le zarci pu noroi fasnu
                My going to the market  never happened.

 Yes, I think it makes sense to say that {nu}s refer only to
realizations of the {du'u}s that do happen. I'll try to make a list
of the gismu definitions that would need updating if this insight
of yours were to be made official.
