Yes, I believe it does. I can think of at least two cases which are not http URIs, but whose resolution in practice may produce an http URI for an http proxy service with the original URI as an argument, and whose dereferencing is then the dereferencing of the original. Those two are doi and lsid. (Whether a request for Named Graph serialization could be passed all the way to the proxy might be another question, but it seems that should be possible in general.)
