cwm/sparql mystery

dear all,
[cwm 1.2.1 on Mac intel OS X 10.5.4]

Some things I don't understand about the implementation of sparql in cwm:

With a testGraph.rdf (appended), the following query returns the expected 
results:

PREFIX ex: <http://temp.example.org/terms/>
PREFIX loc: <http://simile.mit.edu/2005/05/ontologies/location#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>

SELECT ?event ?place
WHERE {{?event ex:date ?date .
     FILTER (?date >= "2008-01-04"^^xsd:date && ?date <= 
"2008-01-08"^^xsd:date)}
     UNION {?event ex:starts ?start; ex:finishes ?end.
         FILTER ((?start >= "2008-01-04"^^xsd:date && ?end <= 
"2008-01-08"^^xsd:date)
         || (?start <= "2008-01-04"^^xsd:date && ?end >= 
"2008-01-04"^^xsd:date)
         || (?start <= "2008-01-08"^^xsd:date && ?end >= 
"2008-01-08"^^xsd:date)
         )
    }
OPTIONAL { ?event loc:place ?place .}
}

However, If I modify the SELECT clause thus:
SELECT *

I get the following traceback and runtime error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

     raise RuntimeError("Unexpected subject", `subj`)
RuntimeError: ('Unexpected subject', "(21, ('2008-01-04', 
u'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date'))")

I get the same error if the SELECT clause is anything like this:

SELECT ?event ?date
or
SELECT ?event ?start
or
SELECT ?event ?date ?start ?end ?place

Something not implemented yet? Or something I don't understand about how 
sparql is implemented in cwm?

Grateful for any illumination,
Jon

PS.
Also, in a (not related?) issue:
following the sparql query, include --sparqlResults

Results in the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/Applications/RDFapps/cwm-1.2.1/cwm", line 750, in <module>
     doCommand()
   File "/Applications/RDFapps/cwm-1.2.1/cwm", line 698, in doCommand
