Let us wait for Shane on this before raising a formal issue. It may be an editorial wizzardy that he can take care of in less time than you need to formally raise a separate issue:-)

That is the only URI that an RDFa processor will dereference, and two different URI-s differing by a fragid only will return the same graph. On the other hand, using two different URI-s for the same graph my make the local caching process inefficient (unless clients would strip the fragid part before caching but I would not expect them to do that...)
