Do we think that the pre Lorien of Amroth had a similar condition?

Well, I do, though I'm hard pressed to prove it conclusively! The whole Cerin Amroth section indicates to me that that 'stainlessness' predates Galadriel's involvement in Lorien (as ruler, anyway.)

Also, were there mallorns there pre Galadriel?

Certainly. Amroth's flet was built in a tall mallorn and there were more in a ring around it.
Rimbaud, your comment regarding politicians was funny, but I'm going to disagree. Who did Celeborn have to win or to impress? I might consider him a 'diplomat'-- although the same argument holds; he didn't travel much.
Maybe that's just it-- he's not in the habit of impressing anyone. He just is who he is, and couldn't care less what anyone in the fellowship thinks.
