Throwing it at the SWI-Prolog parser suggests what you say:

'URL1'  http://purl.org/metadata/dublin_core/:Prop   each(pages)

(It does not expand bags into separate tripples, but rather returns
 a term each(BagId))

But looking at it, I wonder whether is correct.  Shouldn't it reify
the inlined description and generate a (URI, DC:Prop, <BagIdOfReified>)
tripple?

I.e. if a description is the value of an attribute, reify the
description and make the value the reified bag?
