I have never had a problem with the above entailment, but I expect
to see the typed literal node in the graph intact.

The way ^ in N3 works, however, you would never see the typed
literal node in the graph, it would get expanded on parsing into
additional triples. It is this latter "dismantling" and replacement
that I strongly object to.
