Per telco on the 2009-09-17

We said we would look at Jeni's example in our respective implementation:

<p xmlns:ex="http://example.org/" about="http://example.com/" rel="ex:rel3">
  <span property="bogus:bogus" content="Content 3">
    <span about="http://example.net/">Test 3</span>
  </span>
</p>

RDFa distiller generates:

<http://example.com/> ex1:rel3 [].

(plus an error triplet on the fact that bogus:bogus is, well, bogus...)

Ie, indeed, the mere existence of the @property closes the hanging
triple, so to say.

Personally, I do not feel that to be a bug. Very pragmatically, this is
clearly a good warning to the user that, well, something went wrong; if
the triple is simply missing then, well, it is more difficult to find
the reason for the bug. But, yes, this is a very pragmatic argument.
