the fix does look simple but matplotlib is a complicated package with many 
reverse dependencies. Even only rebuilding it could cause unforseeable issues 
which can get difficult and time consuming to resolve.
I think ensuring that matplotlib keeps working for regular users is preferable 
to resolving this issue for developers using this particular feature.
but should an more severe usability issue require a stable update this fix 
should be added too.
