Description

It appears that the binding of variables to blank nodes when inserting
statements behaves differently depending on whether autocommit is turned
on for the session. If I have autocommit turned on and execute the
following iTQL commands:

create <rmi://localhost/server1#test>;
insert <test:subj> <test:pred> $x $x <test:value> 'o1'
    into <rmi://localhost/server1#test> ;
insert <test:subj> <test:pred> $x $x <test:value> 'o2'
    into <rmi://localhost/server1#test> ;
select $s $p $o from <rmi://localhost/server1#test> where $s $p $o;

Then I see that the variable "x" is bound to different blank nodes in
each of the two insertions, and the resulting model has 4 statements.
This is the behavior (behaviour?) that I would expect.

However, when I turn autocommit off prior to the first insertion, and
turn it back on after the second insertion, then I see that the variable
"x" is bound to the same blank node in each of the insertions,
resulting in 3 total statements in the model, which came as a bit of a
surprise to me. Is this the expected behavior in that situation?
