I was able to reproduce the problem, and have fixed the immediate
problem, so you should no longer get an exception with the latest trunk
version of matplotlib. However, the output seems to have some encoding
problems. I will look into the encoding issue, but cannot promise any
particular time frame for a solution. 

If using the Postscript backend and then converting to pdf is an option
for you, it may be a workaround.
