Karen, Erik is right that:

<http://openlibrary.org/works/OL262758W/>
    frbr:Manifestation <http://openlibrary.org/books/OL10236414M/>,
<http://openlibrary.org/books/OL10636839M/>,

<http://openlibrary.org/books/OL7603172M/>,
<http://openlibrary.org/books/OL7851787M/> ;
    a frbr:Work .

isn't going to work (frbr:Manifestation being a class, not a
property).  While you're right that there is no (current) obvious way
to go jump over frbr:Entities in the WEMI chain, there are some
options here.

For the version of the OL data that we host in the Platform, we're
using dcterms:hasVersion/isVersionOf.

http://api.talis.com/stores/openlibrary/meta?about=http://openlibrary.org/works/OL262758W&output=xml

which isn't great, but the fact that both ends of the chain are
frbr:Entities, we can infer the meaning.  Even better would be add
properties to http://open.vocab.org/: something like
hasManifestation/manifestationOf. Perhaps even better would be to
leverage http://vocab.org/frbr/core.html#Endeavour - associatedEntity
as a property name perhaps? - that makes the modeling less
complicated.  That way we know that these are in the same WEMI chain,
but we don't necessarily have to explicitly define /what/ it is in the
relationship.
