This seemed to be the problem (perhaps vers<='1.6' is meant).  I use  
version dvipng version 1.6, but the alpha hack still seems to be  
required.  When I force the hack, the PNG output looks good.  Three  
cheers for the MPL-users list!  (Four for JDH!)

Now, if you'll bear with me, I need to get EPS (then, ultimately,  
encapsulated PDF) output.  I am getting an error like (from  
verbose:helpful) :

 >>> savefig('foo.eps')

[.....]

dvips: Font ecrm1000 at 72 not found; scaling 600 instead.
dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output.

Any clues?
