To me it seem the problem here is simply trying to treat natural language sentences as real things when they are only an approximate abstraction, that breaks down in these kinds of edge cases.
There are no discrete "belief's" with "justifications", there are only a probability distribution over the configuration space of all possible histories of sensory input. And that's just another layer of abstraction really, but it's enough for now.
