Like TeX, matplotlib ignores spaces in math mode and uses spacing
derived from the usual roles of the symbols. You need to use an explicit
command to add space.

On the current trunk, and on the v0_98_5 maintenance branch, that works
fine. At least the following spacing commands seem to work: r'$a\ b$',
r'$a\,b$', r'$a\;b$', r'$a\!b$' (negative space) and r'$a\quad b$' work.
Perhaps you can update to a newer version of matplotlib?
