I still agree with the interpretation of a periphrasis because if you consider the participle as some kind of modifier, it should be replaceable with así or some other adverb. You can indeed say La vendí así with the same grammatical structure as la vendí verde, but I don't think you can say lo tengo así for lo tengo recorrido or te lo tengo así for te lo tengo dicho. But then again, me tenían atrapado seems to have the same structure as me tienes loco, so both interpretations make sense to me. | |

I'm thinking of sentences like La vendí verde (referring to an unripe apple), where clearly it's referring to the transitory state of the fruit at the time of the event. In fact, the examples you cite seem to fit this analysis—they're about state at the time of the event described by the sentence. | |
