Support for nan in inputs to matplotlib is presently spotty (and mostly accidental); use masked arrays instead. Masked arrays have been supported by contourf for a long time, but I added masked array support to quiver (and only for u and v, not for x and y) only very recently, so until a new release is made (probably very soon) it will be available only in svn.
To make a masked array from your array with nans, do something like this: import pylab as P um = P.nx.ma.masked_where(P.nx.isnan(u), u) It might make sense to have matplotlib argument handling code do this automatically on all arguments that can be masked arrays, but unless or until we make that change, you will have to to it manually as needed.
