Do you have fonts whose family name is "sans serif"? Maybe you meant "sans-serif"?
"sans-serif" searches for fonts whose family name is in rcParams["font.sans-serif"], but "sans serif" only search for "sans serif". I don't think it has anything to do with annotation. Check if findfont gives you a correct font. Please report back with matplotlib version etc., if findfont finds a correct font but annotation still shows with a wrong font.
