It seems like an awfully bad idea to use a communication method that doesn't transfer what you mean if you have a better option available.
I doubt that's the case. I don't see how a non-metaphor based language would get turned into a metaphor based one through a software bug. Some big hand waving would need to happen for that.
IMO the Tamarians probably have brains that are structurally different such that their metaphors come far more naturally.
