I think it would be quite unusual that someone would want contour lines 
to show up in a legend, so I made the change I suggested in an earlier 
response to this thread: the LineCollections in the ContourSet now have 
their labels set to _nolegend_.  If someone really does want contour 
lines in a legend, these labels still can be changed manually, as 
described earlier in this thread.
