That's a keen observation by D. Gary Miller ("Latin Suffixal
Derivatives in English").
Since *-tor, *-ti and *-tu are all unstressed suffixes, and
Olsen's rules *do* apply to *-tr-ó- (*-tl-ó-) [a thematized,
and stressed, derivative of *-tor], maybe that could solve
some of the issues. *-tó- is of course inherently stressed
(and so is *-áh2-, I think, but not *-eh1-).
