No...it does. The whole point of the 'hanging rel' proposal, which
everyone seemed happy with at the time :( was to complete triples so
that statements could be chained together. Without it, the above
mark-up would not yield anything, i.e., the @rel with no rvalue would
generate nothing.

No. @instanceof only creates a bnode if there is no other explicit subject.
