I'm not sure that's the case. I think DCMI is pretty vague about what it means by "context" here ;-) But generally I think doc:x dc:identifier "12345" . and doc:y dc:identifier "12345" . is not - in the global "context" - sufficient to conclude that doc:x and doc:y are the same resource, and that holds even with a typed literal as object. That's always been my assumption, anyway.
