>> the lit gloss is clearly a literal translation, _from Chinese_.
That's precisely my point. lit glosses are supposed to be literal translations *of the Japanese*, sticking to the Japanese phrasing and structure as closely as possible. "the weak are meat the strong do eat" doesn’t even agree with 弱肉強食's part of speech. It's not consistent with how we use lit glosses on all non-yoji entries.
In some cases, translations from Chinese make good glosses but they shouldn’t be tagged as [lit]. The same goes for translations of the component characters. I don't think a gloss like "one time, one meeting" is useful.

>> A literal translation of a yojijukugo is simply a translation of its component characters (or words). Classical Chinese syntax does not carry over into Japanese.

And Classical Chinese syntax not carrying over into Japanese, is irrelevant, as these are _English_, not Japanese, glosses.
In the case of 夜郎自大, the lit gloss is clearly a literal translation, _from Chinese_.
自大 isn't even a word, in Japanese.
Translating it character-for-character, from Japanese to English, would be pointless. Translating it character-for-character, rather than as the two kanji (or rather hanzi) word, would also be quite wrong.
Not to mention translating the name of the kingdom 夜郎, character-for-character. (or spelling it as Yarou, the Japanese pronunciation, rather than Yelang, as it is known in Chinese ... Well, in Modern Standard Mandarin, actually, but...)

>> "the weak are meat the strong do eat" is one translator's attempt at rendering 弱肉強食 into idiomatic English. It's certainly not a literal translation of the Japanese

It IS a literal translation.
It may not conform to the standard you mentioned, but that standard isn't the definition of "literal translation". It is only ONE sub-type, of literal translation.

>> I would keep "three kneelings and nine prostrations" and drop "one time, one meeting".

Why?
All of the lit glosses, mentioned here, seem perfectly good and useful.
Most of them also make sense, at least once you read the lit gloss.

Yojijukugo like 猿猴捉月 skips some aspects, that one must learn, before it can be understood (even if you are a native speaker of Japanese or Classical Chinese [the latter, only applying to people in the past]), but lit glosses should, and typically do, include those in parentheses.

Others, like, 一期一会, 弱肉強食, and 七転八起, make perfect sense, even with only literal translations of the individual characters. (though the syntax may feel a bit weird)

>> There, however, no possible valid/reasonable argument, for how/why it being a yojijukugo would have any relevance, to the question of having a lit gloss or not.

A literal translation of a yojijukugo is simply a translation of its component characters (or words). Classical Chinese syntax does not carry over into Japanese.
"the weak are meat the strong do eat" is one translator's attempt at rendering 弱肉強食 into idiomatic English. It's certainly not a literal translation of the Japanese (which, if anything, would be "weak meat, strong eat"). 
It's perfectly fine to include, where appropriate, glosses that incorporate the literal meanings of the characters but they shouldn't be tagged as "lit". I would keep "three kneelings and nine prostrations" and drop "one time, one meeting".

Here are some with a [lit] tag on the last gloss:
三拝九拝 【さんぱいきゅうはい】 (n,vs) (yoji) kowtowing; bowing repeatedly; three kneelings and nine prostrations
一期一会 【いちごいちえ】 (n) (yoji) once-in-a-lifetime encounter; one time, one meeting
猿猴捉月 【えんこうそくげつ】 (n) (yoji) trying to reach above one's station and failing; trying to accomplish something beyond one's abilities and failing; monkey catching (a reflection of) the moon (in the water) 

It's a fair question as to whether they are useful as glosses and if so, should they be tagged. For 三拝九拝 GG5 leads with that gloss. I'm not sure the others serve much purpose.
This should be discussed in the issues forum.

>> That's precisely my point. lit glosses are supposed to be literal translations *of the Japanese*

No.
"lit gloss"es are supposed to be literal translations.
There is no good reason to insist, that it must specifically be from Japanese. I do not, for the life of me, understand why you insist that it must be.

>> "the weak are meat the strong do eat" doesn’t even agree with 弱肉強食's part of speech.

Not entirely, no, but it's about as close as you can get, to a literal translation. (there is, pretty much, no such thing as a perfect translation. Regardless of translation type)

What you're defining as "literal translation", is not really literal translation.
It is...
I'd like to say glosses, but given how that word is used here...
I tried looking up a more specific term for it, and found this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlinear_gloss
("interlinear" would seems to make it needlessly narrow, but what is described in the article perfectly reflects what I'm referring to)
...which is very different, to the concept of literal translation.

Essentially, what you are talking about, are glosses, in the proper sense of the word.
The use of "gloss", in JMDict, is not, I'd argue, strictly accurate, though I suppose it could be argued to be a wider sense of the word.
Glosses (in the narrower sense) are not translations nor definitions.
Those three are very different, though clearly related (when describing things, between languages), concepts.

>> It's not consistent with how we use lit glosses on all non-yoji entries.

Yes it is.
Just _claiming_ that they are not consistent, not/less useful, or in any other way worse, isn't evidence that they are.
You need to present some argument/evidence.

>> The same goes for translations of the component characters.

It is completely unclear, what that is supposed to mean.

>> I don't think a gloss like "one time, one meeting" is useful.

I absolutely think it is, and think that it is as useful, as any other literal translation, in JMDict.
How/why do you think that it isn't?

"絶賛残業中" 100k
"絶賛失業中" 41k

First: Reordering the kanji forms by hits.
Second: I'm not sure what the best way to include this is, but this word is often used in the form "絶賛○○中". In cases like 絶賛発売中 and 絶賛連載中, it's literally saying that it's on sale/being serialized and getting high praise/being very popular. But as a (probably [col][joc]) spinoff from that, it's also used in stuff like 絶賛放置中, 絶賛残業中, and 絶賛失業中. Someone seeing one of those for the first time (especially if they're not familiar with the standard uses that the joke originates from) might be confused.
My best idea off the top of my head would be [exp] entries for the 1~3M hits versions, with [col][joc] and maybe a note on 絶賛放置中. That way, if someone searches 絶賛, they'll find those; and if they're searching because they found another [joc] usage, that should let them figure it out.

It doesn't appear to be used outside of Bible translations. I don't think it's needed. It's not common.

Oh well, I'll wave it through.

野蜜	513
Reverso (two hits quoting Bible passages,)

Not in any references and many of the WWW hits are Bible related with ヨハネの手紙NN as the context.
I suspect that it is a 野+蜜 collocation created by a Bible translator.
Useful as an entry? If it only occurs when describing John the Baptist's diet, I doubt it.

Discovered this word in modern translation of the Bible in Japanese, but it doesn't seem like a common word. It would need to be marked "rare" I think.

「おともだち」という言い方について。
Q:親の私ですが、知らない子の事をお友達と呼ぶことに抵抗があります。
お友達と呼ぶ人が多いと思いますが、
同年齢くらいの子、もしくは年下の子が周りにいて、
お友達以外でなんと呼ぶ方法がありますか？
BA:私も抵抗があります。お友達じゃないじゃんね・・・って。
なんか意味わからん、と思うので、「他の子供さん」っていいます。公園で知らない子の三輪車とかに興味を示したときとかに「それは他の子供さんのだからダメだよ～」って。
Other answers:
「お友達」というのは、あまり親しくない子に対して使うことが多いと思います。
親しい子なら、名前で呼びますし、「友達」といいます。「お」が付くと他人行儀な感じで親しくない印象が強いです。
_
一番差しさわりがないかな～？って感じで、私は知らない子も「おともだち」って言います。
_
まったく抵抗ないです。。
お友達と呼ぶ事で、本当に友達になって遊んでくれたらうれしいな～と思ってるので。。

I hear this all the time, seems worth recording.

Here are some more 二（リャン） examples. Anytime you see 二 in mahjong jargon it is invariably read as リャン. That's why I think this needs to be a separate entry from 2832843・両（りゃん）.

Those entries all seem to use the standard Mandarin pinyin spelling in the language origin note, so I think "liǎng" is the correct choice here.
