Thanks. There were in fact several points of incompatibility with Numeric and numarray. (Normally I would have checked this, but I slipped up.) I have changed quiver.py and numerix to solve the immediate problem, and to slightly reduce the incidence of such problems in the future. The real solution, of course, will be a complete transition to numpy.
Regarding griddata: I downloaded it a few minutes ago, built it, and tested it with numpy, and it worked fine, at least with the test.py that comes with the package. Looking very quickly at the code, I don't see anything specific to any numeric package; it is using the buffer interface at the C level and matplotlib.numerix at the python level. Perhaps the author, Jeff Whitaker, can shed more light on this question.
