Honestly, I believe this one actually can be inferred in non-trivial 
ways on the currently deployed Web of Data, with only RDFS and 
owl:sameAs. Of course, this is probably not going to be written as is by 
someone who really believes that the string "abc" is equal to the string 
"xyz".

You can hardly implement a reasoner where you have to manually add 
special treatment of all the "uncommon" cases that lead to 
contradictions. Usually, contradictions come from trivial and absurd 
errors, such as saying that Tim Berners-Lee is a document or that the 
resource identified by http://www.w3.org/ is equivalent to the character 
string "http://www.w3.org/". These things are not uncommon at all in 
real data.
