Actually, after looking at the code and thinking a bit more, I think the
problem might simply be with different version of traits installed in
different directories in the sys.path, with Python's import mechanism
picking up the MPL-installed one, rather then the user-installed one.
Tricky problems that I see more and more happenning.

But I don't have an example box to test this hypothesis, so we are still
clueless.
