Container Resources and Reified statement - which is the correct parser out there?

Hi,
 
There is already a lot of disscussion going on this topic, but this is just
a practical problem. If it has been answered before please point me to that.
 
I am trying to use RDF in my app and and I come accross a problem concerning
container resources. I tested an RDF data on three parsers available on the
web and all three gave different triples for container (statments with
bagID) . Some of the differences I could explain but some others not.
 
I took the RDF (shown below and taken from CARA[1] - E9) and run it on
Redland[2], CARA and SiRPAC[3]. The results are shown further down. Can
someone explain to me which is the most correct? Namely: 
 
1 - I do not understand why Redland 'reifies' statement with ID 'res1'?!
2 - I do not understand why Redland and CARA 'reify' statement stat3. This
seems to me wrong.?! 
3 - SiRPAC seems to be inconsistent here - stat1 is reified and but not
stat2
 
Regards,
Ayalew
