I looked at the New Scientist article and the theory does in fact invoke gravitons, saying that there are more of them in the presence of high concentrations of matter. But I don't know if these are the same as MM gravitons or not.

Since matter absorbs some MM gravitons, the concentration goes down (a teeny bit) near each mass. Doesn't sound like a match.
