I don't know the answer, sorry. Apparently there is a problem with the 
code that substitutes coordinates for coordinate labels in 3 or 4 
argument Text objects.

If you want to draw labels so that they are not obstructed, you could 
instead add a couple more graphics directives, e.g.:

GraphPlot[{1 -> 2, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 1, 3 -> 4, 5 -> 6, 6 -> 5},
VertexStyleFunction -> ({Yellow, Disk[#, .2], Black, Circle[#, .2], 
Text[#, #]} &)]
