 > It's  a backward compatibility problem: we can't unpickle graphs pickled
 in the old format as the NetworkX format changed. I must admit I don't
 really know how to deal with this.

 This is tricky, but not impossible to deal with. Usually, Python objects
 don't need to be told explicitly how to pickle themselves, but, for
 example, if you make a Cython object, you need to define a `__reduce__`
 method (see
 
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/structure/unique_representation.html).
 What that does is returns information to tell Sage how to recreate the
 object, basically by calling the first object returned on the rest of
 them. What needs to be done is to trace back through what is happening
 when we unpickle old Sage graphs, and see if there isn't an `__init__`
 function that gets called somewhere that we can modify to account for this
 case. Then we could probably just reach in and grab the adjacency dict
 from the old NetworkX object.
