If you have a yes/no query: _:x rdf:type rdfs:ContainerMembershipProperty on the empty graph I am assuming one wants the answer "yes". If you do not consider any of the axiomatic triples concerning the container membership properties, the answer would be "no". If you were to always consider the axiomatic triples pertaining to at least one container membership (or perhaps just a blank node), you are guaranteed to get the answer "yes" in this case.
