I tracked this down (I think) to the fact that the web server used (Jetty) has limitations on handling GET requests (Google finds many such reports).  But it's only GET.

If you swap to using POST then you should be OK.  And given potential, if unlikely, caching, you want POST anyway.

There was a message from OpenLink recently (yesterday on jena-devel@lists.soureforge.nt) saying they will be implementing blank nodes labels (which is what stops them currently).  Then they will be able to support the whole of the Jena API as well as be SPARQL compliant for isBlank().
