This is a known bug in ESP Ghostscript, not matplotlib. ESP version 8.15.02
broke xpdf's pdftops program. I posted a bug report to the ESP website, and
it has been fixed in their sources, but they havent made a new release since
that time. Your options are either to drop back to ESP version 7.07 or use
gpl or afpl ghostscript.
