New description:

 The following indicates to me a huge problem:

 {{{
 sage: G = Graph()
 sage: G.add_edge(None, 1)
 sage: G.show()
 }}}

 the resulting plot has three vertices, one blank, one labeled "1" and the
 other labeled "None".  The blank vertex is floating off in space, and the
 None and 1 vertices are bunched together.

 Other places where a vertex labeled None will obviously cause problems:

 {{{spanning_trees_count}}}, {{{add_vertex}}}, {{{add_edge}}},
 {{{delete_edge}}}, {{{has_edge}}}, {{{edge_label}}}, {{{eccentricity}}},
 {{{layout_tree}}}

 this is not an exhaustive list; I merely read method definitions to look
 where a vertex argument defaults to None (and later uses the condition
 {{{if v is None}}}).

 This indicates to me that we should not accept "None" as a valid vertex
 label.

 Apply [attachment:trac_9362_None_is_no_name.2.patch] only.

Comment:

 positive review, all doctests still pass with Sage 4.8 (except a timeout
 in
 {{{sandpiles/sandpile.py}}} which already happened before this patch).
