I think the validator just treats it as some unknown property, but it
does generate a warning message e.g.
Warning: {W103} Creating statement for unknown RDF property:
'rdf:Resource'.[Line = 16, Column = 43]

OK, in that case, as bib:contributors and marcrel:(xyz) are both
properties of your resource of type bib:Citable, and it's the
contributors you wish to order, I think you'd need to use them as
distinct properties, something like bib.xml attached (which generates
the graph attached as bib.png).
