I have just been looking at it - it looks challenging.

[Rest of message rambles ...]

The proof often combine bnodes mappings A1, A2, .. An into a single bnode
mapping relying on the disjointness of the bnodes.

In the non-disjoint case these could be combined with a rule

A*(n) = Ai(n) for the first Ai with n in its domain

we intuit that since CEXT(Ai(n)) = CEXT(Aj(n)) in the interesting cases,
and the semantics of descriptions really only depends on their class
extension, that everything will be OK - but ...
the lists look hairy for example. The individual list nodes join specific
domain elements so this naive A* will not work.
