No, that's an actual feature. You can deal with coreferences via
owl:sameAs or owl:inverseFunctionalProperty based reasoning and/or
custom rules. (02)
Have many routes to the same data objects is never a bad thing. (03)

It implies a denoted observation subject. (05)

You've played around with literals that denote slots in a particular
type of 3-tuple, the semantics to the triple in question hasn't changed. (07)

We should always encourage reuse when building anything.

But you can't assume or mandate that. People will coalesce around what
works best for them and their respective problem domains. We always get
into trouble when we mandate things to fellow humans :-) (010)

Of course, and that's a very good thing, IMHO. (012)
