I'd say that matplotlib is indeed the problem. The failing example uses
masked array for the brain slices and there are a few related bugfixes
after the release of 0.91.2 in the matplotlib changelog.

I have checked both version 0.87 and 0.98 of matplotlib and they work
fine -- could you try to up- or downgrade matplotlib?


Thanks,

Michael
