Sounds like a backend problem (see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#what-is-a-backend and http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html) First thing you'll want to do is put import matplotlib print matplotlib.rcParams['backend'] at the top of your script and run it in both environments and report what you find. My guess is one of the environments has a backend that does not support the image origin argument.
