Hm, I don't know about mpl's mathtext mode, but I'm actually always 
working in usetex mode. Unfortunately, even so, 
"text.latex.preview" does not exist in rcParams for me. However,... :

I think the following behaviour is definitely 
buggy! Please try the following one at a time, in ion() mode (or just see
sequence of png's produced). None of these succeeds in getting the desired
alignment.


from matplotlib import rc

figure(1)
clf()
plot([0,0],[1,1])

rc('text', usetex=True)

text(xlim()[1],.96,r'$r^2$~~~\mbox{}',horizontalalignment='right')
savefig('t10.png')

rc('text', usetex=False)
show()
savefig('t20.png')

text(xlim()[1],.97,r'$r^2$~~~\mbox{}',horizontalalignment='right')
savefig('t30.png')

rc('text', usetex=True)

show()
savefig('t40.png')
