That's like saying there must have been a Vulgar Latin _Vorlage_ of
the Aeneid or the Metamorphoses because no one _spoke_ Classical
Latin, therefore the Aeneid and Metamorphoses are translations.

Do the Aeneid and Metamorphoses have missing puns and strange meaning,
that could be explained by back-translating it into Vulgar Latin.

(Wasn't Vulgar Latin much later that Classical, BTW?)

Amply attested in Pompeii graffiti.
