My apologies on my lack of clarity.  The query is fine in both cases, but in
the data listing, the header on the default graphs is "# Default graph",
which isn't nearly as clear as, for instance 9.3: "# Named graph:
http://example.org/dft.ttl" which is what the query actually uses for it's
default dataset.  The point of FROM is that you're using a named graph to
specify a default/background graph, so it would be clearer to actually have
a name on that graph listing.
