Thank you @pchampin for noting this!
You're absolutely right; this appears to say that any property used as a reified predicate in any of these "facts" hold between all subject, objects pairs of every "fact"! That's certainly not desired. (Never use an all-quantifier without checking for more false positives!)
Also yes, that is an important caveat: this may very well be "ill-formed" OWL. Entailing more OWL rules like this is rather hazardous...
