Yes, I also had similar problems with plotting on Arch Linux when used pre-built packages on my other machine which is two CPU Pentium III machine. In my case it is said to be related to http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9382 - because package maintainer built it in a way that should work (with SAGE_FAT_BINARY='yes').
For now, before #9382 (or #10226) reaches release and packages are rebuilt with it which might happen for 4.7, just build from source and it will always work (or maybe there are some sse2-less packages for Ubuntu in some ppa? Not sure, cause I never used *buntu. Building from source will solve your problem for sure) Andrzej.
