No but that is not forbidden per se, may just lead to unexpected behavior
though.  If you have a specific example where this can happen that would be
useful

The problem is the way CopyNode() works is slightly funky, its not really a
bug per se because it has to work the way it does or we run into all sorts
of problems trying to do SPARQL updates properly.  Ultimately the problem
boils down to a somewhat ill-advised design decision to scope nodes to
graphs 4 years ago when I originally started the project which then
necessitates this CopyNode() behavior.

Eventually in 2.0 this will be removed so the whole CopyNode() functionality
will become defunct and nodes can be freely moved around wherever you want.
