It looks like it may be Windows-specific. I can create .eps files with math on mpl-0.91.2, Python 2.5, gs-7.07 on Linux without problems. Someone with a Windows installation may need to look at this.
Just so I can have a deeper look -- can you please attach a) the Python source of a minimal plot that causes this problem b) your .eps file output (so I can compare it against mine).
