Semantically equivalent, though different in the trees they produce (in the former "foobar" is a text node child of the dd element, in the latter it is a text node child of the first p element child of the dd element).

Same — semantically equivalent, though different in the trees they produce (in the former "foobar" is a text node child of the dd element, in the latter it is a text node child of the p element child of the dd element).
Does DD have an implicit P, much as it has an implicit Q/BLOCKQUOTE?
No: a run of text nodes (and phrasing content elements) is a paragraph, much like an explicit one created by the p element. <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#paragraphs > details this in-depth.
