The Americans do this. Its why you should never seal before you grout, if you do the sealer reduces the grip the grout has. They seal them a couple of times making sure holes are filled then pick the grout out of the holes.
The biggest problem occuring with travertine floors is popping due to deflection, this generally happens on honed trav but if laying unfilled and sealing before grouting you are asking for trouble.
An alternative to picking out would be on Chiaro use Mapei Jasmin on Noce use Mapei grey then sponge the holes deep when you wipe off
