Alejandro,
I apologize for how long it has taken to get back to you. I can confirm
your bug, and it is indeed a bug. However, I am not sure how exactly it
should be dealt with. To prevent it from getting lost, could you please
file a report on our bug tracker?
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=80706
That would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. - On a unrelated note, it is not good coding style to do a "from pylab
import *" as pylab brings in *many* functions and variables into the main
namespace and will likely collide with one of your own variables and/or
functions.
