That is a good workaround, but Mark has correctly identified a bug. It should not be necessary to use kwargs for these. It looks like the pylab and axes.py interfaces to the text class Annotate have not kept up with the latter, so docstrings and kwargs are out of sync and mismatched. I can clean this up some time this week.
