The issue is that we have two vertex-transitive graphs on 156 vertices, coming
from two constructions of a generalized quadrangle over GF(5).
According to sage these graphs are not isomorphic, but the graphs
we obtain by deleting one vertex from each are isomorphic.  One of
these claims has to be false (in fact we know that the graphs are isomorphic).

We can supply more details about the graph(s) on request.

After reading in the graphs (see the file below):
        sage: DualW5
        Graph on 156 vertices
        sage: TO5
        Graph on 156 vertices
Both graphs are vertex transitive:
        sage: len(DualW5.automorphism_group(return_group=False, orbits=True))
        1
        sage: len(TO5.automorphism_group(return_group=False, orbits=True))
        1
Apparently they are not isomorphic:
        sage: DualW5.is_isomorphic(TO5)
        False

However their automorphism groups have the same order:
        sage: TO5.automorphism_group(return_group=False, order=True)
        9360000
        sage: DualW5.automorphism_group(return_group=False, order=True)
        9360000
(The automorphism group is the symplectic group Sp(4, GF(5)), and this is the 
correct order.)

Now construct the graphs we get by deleting one vertex:
        sage: DualW50 = DualW5.copy(); TO50 = TO5.copy()
        sage: DualW50.delete_vertex(0); TO50.delete_vertex(0)
        sage: DualW50; TO50
        Graph on 155 vertices
        Graph on 155 vertices

Are they isomorphic?
        sage: DualW50.is_isomorphic(TO50)
        True
