Comment:

 We could simply
 [https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/2ac494f71676e8cf824ae7eced1bca0848bb5a59.patch
 apply the upstream patch] until the new version gets released.

 I didn't try to recompile the patched package yet, but the problem can be
 reproduced with
 {{{
 $ export LC_ALL=UTF-8
 $ /opt/local/bin/python2.7
 >>> import matplotlib
 }}}
 and hopefully fixed after the patch.
