Comment (by klee):

 The cause of the second issue is explained in the Python doc about
 `__del__` method, which is used in the class `LatexManager` in the
 `.../lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_pgf.py` file. The method tries to
 close temporary files whose list is kept in the class attribute
 `_unclean_instances`, by calling `_cleanup(self)` method,  which in turn
 uses the `os.path` module. But as Sage is shutting down, the last module
 is in state of being destroyed. Thus an exception raises (but ignored).

 Simply speaking, the `__del__` method is doing too much at a critical
 moment.

 I don't know the appropriate way of dealing with this (bug?). Should it be
 dealt in Sage or at upstream?
