would it suffice to draw text and put a rectangle around it?  If so, you can do

  ax.text(x, y, label, bbox=dict(facecolor=red, alpha=0.5))

where bbox is a dict of Rectangle properties

I suspect this is not what you are looking for based on your question,
but I wanted to mention it just in case.
