Thanks for finding these. I have fixes here:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/426
This does get me thinking that we still have a number of tests in
backend_driver that should be ported to the test framework -- I
generally only run the test framework, but clearly the coverage is no
Running backend_driver:
Backend svg took 4.94 minutes to complete
Failures: ['../pylab_examples/quadmesh_demo.py', '../api/logo2.py',
'../api/watermark_text.py']
All the other backends passed. It looks like there is a single svg
problem being triggered by all three of these examples.
