it should be.

you put 

<http://mydomain.com/foaf#me> a foaf:Person .

to 

<http://data.fm/friends>

then you would have 

<http://mydomain.com/foaf#me> a foaf:Person .

in 

<http://data.fm/friends>

if you PUT 

<#me> a foaf:Person 

to

<http://data.fm/friends>

Then you'll have that resources  contain

<http://data.fm/friends#me> a foaf:Person .

The new resource you PUT to, would now contain a metnion of the resource R.

The above should be the case. If it is not then one should open an issue.
