You're right. It's a bug. The parser (when it was re-written) was
changed to not accept '[' as a literal symbol, since it is meaningful in
certain situations. This turned out to be overly cautious. This is
fixed in svn r4854.

Really? Note that Matthias had text.usetex=False.
I tried various configurations:
text.usetex=True
You need to escape the [:
mpl_pp.xlabel(r"$\[$")
[] and {} have special meanings in math syntax, so to use them
"literally", they need to be escaped.

Hello list,
the little example below leads to an error on my system (output is attached).
I used this some time ago and it worked. Now I'm using the release 0.91.2.
Is there a reason to use rectangular brackets not in mathtext?
(same problem occur with '{' for me.)
