I've just looked at the comments in the source for my benchmarks, and nowhere is there a statement of what the various programs are intended to measure, so I don't see what evidence you have for your statement. Now, clearly I had in mind when preparing the benchmarks that they would exercise different aspects of a Prolog implementation, but I was familiar with enough different implementations to know that I didn't have the time to build a benchmark suite whose components I would be sure would measure the same individual aspects across implementations. Otherwise, I entirely agree with and support your points, and I will be digging into my archives to find programs that might be useful for benchmarking.
