Michael,
Don't be so hard on yourself because you found this example before you 
just forgot about it :) This was the underlying problem you mentioned in 
[1] that owl:sameAs has weaker semantics under punning. This is a 
well-known issue that was pointed out by other people in this mailing 
list (e.g. see [2]). Not everybody agrees this is a major problem and I 
tried to explain my point-of-view in the previous thread [3].

Cheers.
