I also recently (before I noticed this thread) posted a bug report #3151034 [1] There is also documented, that the mlab.prctle function does not yield the same results as scipy.stats.scoreatpercentile. In addition to make the confusion complete matlab reports yet another result ... But I think at least matplotlib and the scipy-stats-package should agree.
