I found one more solution which makes use of the sansmath.py style, available at http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/sansmath.sty.
To use it with matplotlib I updated the 'sans-serif' member of the font_info dict: 'sans-serif': ('cmss', '\usepackage{sansmath}'), and to the end of sansmath.py I added \sansmath to activate sans math mode upon loading. Then, choosing 'sans-serif' as first sansserif font in .matplotlibrc you get nice serif free math text. It should be easy to add this to the matplotlib distro.
