Duration comparison question

When I compare 28 days to 1 month and 365 days to 1 year in Fuseki 1.1.1 , I get the following:

SELECT ("P28D"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#duration> ="P1M"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#duration> as ?same) {}
--------
| same |
========
| true |
--------
SELECT ("P365D"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#duration> ="P1Y"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#duration> as ?same) {}
--------
| same |
========
| true |
--------
Shouldn't this be indeterminate in both cases?

Best regards

3.2.6.2 Order relation on duration

The following table shows the strongest relationship that can be determined between example durations. The symbol <> means that the order relation is indeterminate. Note that because of leap-seconds, a seconds field can vary from 59 to 60. However, because of the way that addition is defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (§E), they are still totally ordered.

 	Relation
P1Y	> P364D	<> P365D	 	<> P366D	< P367D
P1M	> P27D	<> P28D	<> P29D	<> P30D	<> P31D	< P32D
P5M	> P149D	<> P150D	<> P151D	<> P152D	<> P153D	< P154D
Implementations are free to optimize the computation of the ordering relationship. For example, the following table can be used to compare durations of a small number of months against days.

 	Months	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	...
Days	Minimum	28	59	89	120	150	181	212	242	273	303	334	365	393	...
Maximum	31	62	92	123	153	184	215	245	276	306	337	366	397	...
