For what it is worth I see behaviour identical to Neal. I'm using a
development version of matplotlib (v1.4.x, sorry I don't know the hash of
the installed version) on 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) and Python 2.7.3.
That probably doesn't help much, except to show that this is not specific
to just Neal!
