Superfluous validation error when target node doesn't exist in data graph

What's the issue?
A violation is raised when a node that doesn't exist in the data graph is used as an object of sh:targetNode.
What's expected?
I expected the validation report to conform, as the target node doesn't exist in the data graph. This is based off this part of the SHACL spec:
RDF terms produced by targets are not required to exist as nodes in the data graph.
Playground example
In my first example id:c exists as a node in the data graph, while in the second one id:d doesn't.
