I believe you're making an application-specific choice here.
Where in the SKOS data model (spec) is this entailment
endorsed?  I could imagine an application that may find it
convenient to implement language searching by acting as
if your example were endorsed but it doesn't feel appropriate
to me in general to state such an entailment.

Which is one of the reasons it's an inappropriate entailment :)
