What would be entailed was

_:SURROGATE_BNODE_FOR_1 a xsd:integer

cf. entailment rule rdfD1 (Section 7.4) in the informative entailment rules of rdf-mt [1].
but at the moment we don't bother about "surrogate" bnodes for literals, but only return 
terms appearing in the orignal graph. (similarly for the RDFS example) I only meant those test cases for making that clear to users/implementers: That is, if I implement RDFS/D entailment by implementing the informative entailment rules, I get results which are not mandated by our current definitions of RDFS/D entailment in SPARQL.

Hope that the intention is clearer now,
Axel
