No, oddly.
USING <g1> means use <g1> for the default graph of WHERE {...}. So
there is an RDF dataset of with the default graph and no named graphs.
This way, if GRAPH ?var is used in the pattern, GRAPH ?var never matches
(no named graphs).
WHERE { ... GRAPH ?var { ... } ... }
and
WHERE { ... GRAPH <g1> { ... } ... }
do not match.
Writing GRAPH <g1> works for the INSERT {} and DELETE {} parts because
there it's a template.
Graph <g1> need not exist before the operation.
