My first guess is that there is that some thing wrong with your latex
installation as the images on the website are regenerated as part of
building the documentation.

I can not reproduce this problem on a 1.4.2 installation on my computer.
Try cleaning out the tex.cache folder in either or both of
matplotlib.get_cachedir() or matplotlib.get_configdir().
