Subgraph() step not working via GraphBinary

[FlorianHockmann]

The subgraph() step returns a Graph instance via GraphBinary. This however results in an exception for JanusGraph (see stack trace below).

I first found this with our productive setup which uses CQL + ES, but could also reproduce it with the vanilla Docker image using Berkeleyje + Lucene by just adding two vertices and an edge between them and then executing the traversal (see steps to reproduce).

While this sounds similar to #2843, I think that it's a different issue because there the problem is that no serializer for the type can be found. With GraphBinary here we're getting a completely different exception and the stack trace already shows that the correct serializer for the graph type was used: GraphSerializer.

For confirmed bugs, please report:

• Version: 0.6.1
• Storage Backend: berkeleyje / cql
• Mixed Index Backend: lucene / elasticsearch
• Link to discussed bug:
• Expected Behavior: The subgraph should be returned to the client.
• Current Behavior: See the exception below.
• Steps to Reproduce: Configure GraphBinary in the client and execute a traversal that returns a graph, e.g,, g.E().subgraph('sg').cap('sg').next().
