The correct analysis is that, because foreground items will (because of a gut feel for what is linguistically comfortable to the ordinary, unreflective language-user) always be consistent among themselves, the verb will always agree with whatever is APPARENTLY the subject in foreground (as opposed to agreeing with the ACTUAL subject that is in the background). | |

That may be what you intend, but your listeners will naturally conclude you don't know the difference between I and me. | |
