The latter could very well have a more "main path" semantics, like: already refer to a referentially transparent occurrence (which is of course asserted).

Is that a proposal that complete semantics happens when the target 
triple is available, and not by default if a quoted triple in a graph 
without the target triple asserted? In other words the "semantics" is 
due to the triple, not the naming of the triple.
