Well, I think the goal of these graph questions is not so much figuring out if they "know graph theory". But, rather, figuring out if the candidate had a solid Computer Science education and if they can think about a problem in abstract terms (as a proxy for being smart in general). The idea being that if those two things hold true, they can learn everything else on the spot.
