I was able to confirm this bug with 1.0.1, but it has already been fixed in git master. This fix should make it into the next release.
I used "git bisect" to track down the point at which it was fixed and turned up this: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/6fe5fa03e8608949cb08a485a4d6adf9247a5ffb Unfortunately, that won't apply cleanly to 1.0.1, so I can't recommend a quick fix other than updating to git master.
