It is a special case that your node id's happen to be integers.  The  
node name information is stored in the dynamic_properties (and in the  
internal vertex_name property of your graph).  The write_graphviz  
operation requires you to explicitly pass along a mapping from nodes  
to ids if you want to control the ids of the vertices.

What precisely do you mean when you say that its interpretation is  
"skewed"?
