First, I've never done any optic calculation. So I'm not a specialist.
Now : The dielectric function is the response of your material to an
electric field. You know that metals and semiconductors have very
different response to this. Then if one considers only the k-point
where there is a gap in graphen I would expect a noticeable effect on
the dielectric function.
