As a quick-fix workaround, you can do:

from matplotlib.pyplot import *
p = scatter([0,1,2,3], [4,5,6,7], c ='k', alpha=0, edgecolor = 'k')
p._alpha = 1.0
p.set_edgecolor('k')
show()

But the deeper question is for the rest of the list is... what's the 
correct behavior?  Should we just revert to what it did in 0.91, or add 
another kwarg to set the edge alpha?

Cheers,
Mike
