I took a quick look over your strace and didn't see anything obviou.
You might want to bring this up with the debian maintainer, because I
have never seen this error before and so it may not be a matplotlib
problem per se.

I also had a look, and on first guess I'd venture it's a GTK bug. All the internal errors seem to be related to GTK font handling and interactions with X11. It certainly doesn't look like anything caused by matplotlib (and since ipython is pure python, it can't cause segfaults by itself).
