I think this should be more like a feature request (rather than a bug). Legend only support simple artists such as lines/patches/collections. This is mentioned in the documentation (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.legend) but may be not explicit enough. Implementing legend for stem command is not very straight forward as command like stem create multiple artists. I prefer commands like stem to return a single container artist, but this has potential to break the old code. For the original question, you may use proxy artist (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/legend_guide.html#using-proxy-artist). However, I'm afraid none of the currently supported artists is close to what you want. And it is not easy (for a normal user) to create a customized legend unfortunately.
