Both the description of the issue
  http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/tracker/issues/137
and the previous use case
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2008Aug/0225.html
are concerned with fixing up the importing graph.

No.  If the imported ontology declares the property as an
ObjectProperty, then literal values are not acceptable.

But then why does it have an owl:imports triple in it?

Yes.  See
  http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/tracker/issues/137
and
