Comment(by jason):

 Some more examples with sage 4.1.  The last few examples show that the
 density is about an order of magnitude smaller than what we asked for.

 {{{
 sage: A=random_matrix(ZZ,1000,density=1e-3,sparse=True)
 sage: RR(len(A.nonzero_positions()))/(A.nrows()*A.ncols())
 0.000814000000000000
 sage: A=random_matrix(ZZ,10000,density=1e-4,sparse=True)
 sage: RR(len(A.nonzero_positions()))/(A.nrows()*A.ncols())
 0.0000796700000000000
 sage: A=random_matrix(ZZ,100000,density=1e-5,sparse=True)
 sage: RR(len(A.nonzero_positions()))/(A.nrows()*A.ncols())
 1.13230000000000e-6
 sage: A=random_matrix(ZZ,100000,density=1e-6,sparse=True)
 sage: RR(len(A.nonzero_positions()))/(A.nrows()*A.ncols())
 1.12600000000000e-7
 sage: A=random_matrix(ZZ,100000,density=1e-7,sparse=True)
 sage: RR(len(A.nonzero_positions()))/(A.nrows()*A.ncols())
 1.08000000000000e-8
 }}}
