So should the graph throw an exception if Graph.remove( Triple.ANY ) is

I think the time for that "should" is long past. It hasn't thrown an exception
for doing that for the past ten years; there may be code out there that
relies on the current relaxed approach. It seems to me that it's a non-
problem; document it and move on.
It's harmless - there is nothing to delete.
(Corner use case: The basic machinary like graph etc can be used for
generalized non-RDF structures which might conceivably put Node.ANY into
a graph.)
