No, it looks like we are doing something wrong.  I can't believe it
has not been reported in the umpteen mpl releases that have had this
problem....

build_transforms needs to call

  add_base_flags(module)

before the call to 

        ext_modules.append(module)

in both the Numeric and numarray sections.  Ditto for the
build_contour function in setupext.py.

Hope this helps!  Let me know...
