Thanks for the clarification.
I don't really know what's the wrong here, but just let do a little test:

1. Revert this commit 19fd72c34dcd1332df638d76b0b028e9d9da3d41
$ git revert 19fd72

2. Clone the git repo
$ git clone --bare git@github.com:git/git.git

3. Write commit graph
$ git commit-graph write

4. Use the depth=<depth> to clone (depth=1)
$  git clone --no-checkout --no-local --=depth=1 git.git git1
Cloning into 'git1'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 4306, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (4306/4306), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3785/3785), done.

4.  Use the depth=<depth> to clone (depth=2)
$  git clone --no-checkout --no-local --=depth=2 git.git git2
Cloning into 'git2'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 4311, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (4311/4311), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3788/3788), done.

5. Use the depth filter to clone (depth=1)
$  git clone --no-checkout --no-local --filter=depth:1 git.git git3
Cloning into 'git3'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 4306, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (4306/4306), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3785/3785), done.

6. Use the depth filter to clone (depth=2)
$  git clone --no-checkout --no-local --filter=depth:2 git.git git4
Cloning into 'git4'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 322987, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (322987/322987), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (77441/77441), done.

As we can see, when we use --filter=depth:<depth> (depth >= 2),
it seems like we clone a lot of objects. The result is significantly
different from git clone --depth=<depth> (depth >= 2).

So I debug it by reproducing the git pack-objects process:

I find there are different action between --filter=depth:<depth> and
 --depth=<depth> .

--filter=depth:<depth> will be successfully resolved commit parents in
parse_commit_in_graph(),

Call stack( cmd_pack_objects -> get_object_list -> traverse_commit_list ->
traverse_commit_list_filtered -> do_traverse -> get_revision ->
get_revision_internal -> get_revision_1 -> process_parents ->
repo_parse_commit_gently -> repo_parse_commit_internal ->
parse_commit_in_graph)

--depth=<depth> will failed in parse_commit_in_graph(), and call
repo_read_object_file() to resolved commit parents.

Call stack( cmd_pack_objects -> get_object_list -> traverse_commit_list ->
traverse_commit_list_filtered -> do_traverse -> get_revision ->
get_revision_internal -> get_revision_1 -> process_parents ->
repo_parse_commit_gently -> repo_parse_commit_internal ->
repo_read_object_file)

So I try to fix this problem by let commit-graph respect commit-graft.
I don't know if I overlook something before...
