Interestingly I just installed ubuntu gutsy AMD64 on my machine (yes I know it's alpha) and found that I get a strangely similar problem (with subversion matplotlib). But only if i use *xpdf* as the distiller, not ghostscript. I also get the same error with the bounding box / no paper information. I put it down to ubuntu alpha status rather than matplotlib which is why I didn't report it, but this has made me think possibly otherwise?? I'll send more details if you're interested.
