I checked your graph and layout and it seems that you have more points
in the layout than in the graph. Your graph has 115 vertices, the layout
contains coordinates for 117 vertices (which is fine for igraph, it
simply uses the first 115), and incidentally, the point you mentioned
with coordinates (0.006, 0.006) is the 116th in the layout:
>>> graph.vcount()
115
>>> len(layout)
117
>>> layout[115]
[0.00608, 0.00608]
No wonder that there's no corresponding vertex in the layout.

My bad, I've been using the development tree of igraph for too long ;)
By the way, how did you pickle the graph and the layout and what OS are
you using? The reason why I am asking is that I got an exception saying
"No such module igraph" when I tried to unpickle the graph and the
layout, and it took me a while until I realized that the module name in
your pickled files was in fact "igraph\r" (with a carriage return
character in the end) and not simply "igraph". I had to pipe the pickle
files through dos2unix to make it work.
