Yes, such queries are supported, but using this for dump production is
both not possible - since dumps are what the data in SPARQL service is
loaded from - and very inefficient, we don't really need SPARQL server
for that, it can be done with much simpler code.

I was trying to explain to you that you can use CONSTRUCT to produce a one-off dump, per whatever you have in the dataset modifier (or body) part of the SPARQL Query .
