I really don't think there is a problem in TBC. If the physical file (imported from somewhere else) does not contain baseURI information then how could TopBraid possibly make sense of it. That's why we add the # baseURI comment: it makes managing the files in the workspace much more efficient than having to pre-load them all.
I remain of the position that the ontology authors should follow the convention used almost everywhere else - that the owl:Ontology does not end with a #.
