No idea, but I observed also similar problems.
The first idea was that this is problem from mathplotlib, but I
followed the example at http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex
and tried the following
P=plot(x^2,(x,-3,3))
T=text(r"$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{-e^{i\pi}}{2^n}$",(0,0),
fontsize=16)
show(P+T)
this does not work because of displaystyle. Removing \displaystyle and
trying
P=plot(x^2,(x,-3,3))
T=text(r"$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{-e^{i\pi}}{2^n}$",(0,0), fontsize=16)
show(P+T)
This gives a fraction which has far worse rendering than the rendering
via LaTeX and rendering which can be seen at
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex
Tested now at sagenb.org
