You didn't mention the version of matplotlib you are using. There are some known bugs using NaNs on 0.90.x and 0.91.x that have been fixed on the trunk. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to backport these fixes.
Have you tried using masked arrays instead of arrays with NaNs? Also, can you provide a standalone example that reproduces this error (including specific data?) so that we can further investigate?
