Unicode error using matplotlib with log scale in Windows

I am using python 2.6 and matplotlib. If I run the histogram_demo.py sample provided on the matplotlib gallery page, it works fine. I greatly simplified this script:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mu, sigma = 100, 15
x = mu + sigma * np.random.randn(10000)

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

n, bins, patches = ax.hist(x, 50, normed=1, facecolor='green', alpha=0.75)

ax.set_yscale('log')  # <---- add this line to generate the error
plt.show()

I get this error (in line plt.show()):

TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, dict found

I tried changing the backend to a lot of different values ​​- nothing helps. I use Qt4Agg. Is this a font problem? It seems that this should be something with my configuration. Note. Due to other problems, I just installed a new copy of python26, matplotlib, numpy, scipy. I have another XP-box running python26 and it executes both versions of the script without errors. I hope someone can help. Thank you very much in advance.
