Your awareness that X is a creation of your fantasy is certainly 
relevant to someone who wants to make a judgment about your mental 
health - the consequence however I guess is "Judge not in an open world, 
that ye be not judged based on a subgraph".

Seriously, I think you're making an illegitimate semantic difference 
between labeled and unlabeled nodes, X could have an URI in which case 
the MSG have the same "problem". I don't however think this is a 
problem, because a graph implies each of its subgraphs so asserting a 
graph is asserting all of its subgraphs. In your example the statement 
"is a creation of my fantasy" disambiguates the  range  of "know" which 
can be both a real and a imagined person, you may consider using a 
subproprty of "know" with range "ImaginedPerson"

Yes rdf-utils do not yet support same-as smushing as well as smushing of 
named resource in general. I was thinking about doing this by 
anonymizing named resources and having the URI as a functional data-type 
property (sorry owl lite users...).

In this case the patch command of rdf-utils returns a lean graph, note 
however that is not guaranteed in the general case so you may want to 
use the leanify command after a patch (/me TODO: add this as an option 
to the patch command, which would be faster).
