I think it is already fixed.  This works (drawing a sensible bar plot 
with a log scale despite bins with zero):

In [3]:hist(rand(10), log=True)
Out[3]:
(array([1, 0, 3, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1]),
  array([ 0.00863515,  0.10200932,  0.19538349,  0.28875767,  0.38213184,
         0.47550601,  0.56888018,  0.66225435,  0.75562852,  0.84900269]),
  <a list of 10 Patch objects>)
