sparqler (http://sparql.org/query.html )seems to like

SELECT ?who WHERE
{
  [ rdf:subject ?work;
    rdf:predicate sam:isAbout;
    rdf:object ?topic
  ] dc:creator ?who
}

but not with a trailing semi

SELECT ?who WHERE
{
  [ rdf:subject ?work;
    rdf:predicate sam:isAbout;
    rdf:object ?topic;
  ] dc:creator ?who
}

When working on an N3 grammar, I was stumped for a while
trying to allow this. I think I eventually made a separate
token for "; followed by ]" as distinct from ;.

I haven't checked the SPARQL grammar yet, but I think
this should be allowed.
