I did in a similar way
l1 = plot(datax, datay, label='my favorite label for squares',
marker='s', color='black', mfc='white', mec='black')
plot(datax, daty, label='my favorite label for squares', marker='s', 
color='black', mfc='red', mec='black')

I plot the data 2 times and them in the legend only add the firs line 
with white markers

legend([l1],[label])

But I think this functionality should not be difficult to implement
directly and maybe someone has done it.
