Turns out that's a matplotlib bug.  Fixed in r3804.

I agree, it's probably not as far along in the details as Ps and Pdf. 
An alternative is to use the Cairo backend to produce SVGs.  That code 
is probably a bit more mature, though FWIW the files it produces are 
larger.  (And there was already a long discussion on this list about 
pros/cons of Cairo wrt matplotlib that I won't get into...)

If I hear no objections on this list, I'll go ahead and do that.

Cheers,
