OK
Then I still wonder about the second testcase:

Does the merge of the following OWL Lite graph

  :x rdf:type owl:Thing.
  :z rdf:type owl:Thing.
  :x :y :z.                        # annotation triple

with the following OWL Lite graph

  :y rdf:type owl:ObjectProperty.
  :v rdf:type owl:ObjectProperty.
  :y rdfs:subPropertyOf :v.

OWL Lite entail

  :x rdf:type owl:Thing.
  :v rdf:type owl:ObjectProperty.
  :z rdf:type owl:Thing.
  :x :v :z.
