I think that insert and construct should behave in the same way when a 
variable is not bound :

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/docs/query-1.1/rq25.xml#construct

16.2  Construct

"If any such instantiation produces a triple containing an unbound 
variable or an illegal RDF construct, such as a literal in subject or 
predicate position, then that triple is not included in the output RDF 
graph. "
