This has been fixed in SVN r7972. plot-directive now takes an "encoding" option, exactly like the Sphinx include directive. It does not do automatic encoding detection (meaning it ignores the "# coding: latin1" comments), just as the Sphinx include directive does.
I'm not sure if there's a workaround "outside" of matplotlib, other than to ensure the source files are encoding in pure ascii (by using unicode escapes in literals instead of the real characters). But that's not a great workaround.
