One way is to install mpl from git master.  The ScalarFormatter handles 
this situation better now:

In [15]: print '\n'.join([tl.get_text() for tl in ax.get_yticklabels()])
$\mathdefault{0.0000052300}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052305}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052310}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052315}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052320}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052325}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052330}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052335}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052340}$
$\mathdefault{0.0000052345}$
