My opinion is that graphics are so confusing now with multiple overlaps between packages, Combinatorica, and new built in functions in version 8.
The use of WeightedAdjacencyMatrix appears to solve this problem.
Not sure if it's the best solution.
Needs["GraphUtilities`"]
graph=Graph[{UndirectedEdge[1,2],UndirectedEdge[2,3],UndirectedEdge[3,1]},EdgeWeight->{1,2,9}];
GraphDistance[graph,1,3]
3.
GraphPath[graph,1,3]
{1,3}
// Workaround:
GraphPath[WeightedAdjacencyMatrix[graph],1,3]
{1,2,3}
Here is a slightly larger graph (4 points)
// Setup:
g=CompleteGraph[4];
wgts = Thread[EdgeList[g]->Range[EdgeCount[g]]];
// Graph
g=CompleteGraph[4,
Rule[VertexShapeFunction,List["Name"]],
EdgeWeight->wgts,
EdgeLabels->wgts,
ImagePadding->10,
EdgeLabelStyle->Directive[Blue,Italic,20]
]
GraphDistance[g,2,4]
4.
GraphPath[WeightedAdjacencyMatrix[g],2,4]
{2,1,4}
GraphPath[WeightedAdjacencyMatrix[g],2,3]
{2,1,3}
GraphPath[WeightedAdjacencyMatrix[g],3,4]
{3,1,4}

I hope they consolidate Graphics in the next release
