Chandarāga is certainly constructed with nouns in the locative, but do
you have evidence from the Nikāyas (apart from this sutta) that
saṃyojana is constructed with nouns in the genitive ?

That's true, but I understand that when it does occur, it is for
emphasis. How about D II 302:
Idha bhikkhave bhikkhu cakkhuñ ca pajānāti, rūpe ca pajānāti, yañ ca tad
ubhayaṃ paṭicca uppajjati saṃyojanaṃ tañ ca pajānāti, yathā ca
anuppannassa saṃyojanassa uppādo hoti tañ ca pajānāti, yathā ca uppannassa
saṃyojanassa pahānaṃ hoti tañ ca pajānāti, yathā ca pahīnassa
saṃyojanassa āyatiṃ anuppādo hoti tañ ca pajānāti
Here saṃyojanaṃ is also after uppajjati. So how would you construe this ?
