This sound is not a doubly articulated labial-palatal, but rather a rounded palatal, meaning that it has secondary labial articulation. This is consistent with it being the semivowel equivalent of [y], which is also has palatal articulation with secondary labialization.
The closest thing known to a doubly articulated labial-palatal consonant are the labial-postalveolar consonants of the Yélî Dnye language.
