But perhaps this expectation is faulty?
I would say that the 303 redirect at /resource/ghiufhksf can be defended (303 doesn't imply anything about what the resource is or what you find behind the redirect -- so there's nothing wrong with redirecting to a 404 URI). A 303 is not wrong, it's just not very helpful. A 404 would certainly be better. But http://dbpedia.org/page/sdiljelsfkdiejlsk and /data/whhsjdfjkwrf should clearly be 404, as these documents do not exist. In fact, those URIs were 404 when the DBpedia frontend was still hosted on Pubby. It seems this was broken some time after the switch to Virtuoso.

Yes, the canonical URIs are, and will remain, based on the English Wikipedia URIs. If there will ever be URIs based on the French version, they would likely be something like http://fr.dbpedia.org/...
