John, Thanks for the answer.
My prime mistake was to assume that matlab behavior is mimicked in matplotlib. (I am not saying it should be!). matlab has a Line object and this includes the markers. So, what I called "bugs" was based on a false expectation. The matlab version of the code will produce lines and symbols of the same color. I will spend more time with the matplotlib manual and learn the differences with matlab, and make progress that way.
