A small, self-contained example would be most useful. The logic for 'best'
isn't the greatest, but it should work in most cases. If you could provide
an example of where this blatantly breaks, it might uncover a bug.
Can you provide an example that doesn't depend on pandas?

I was playing with this example to remove the pandas stuff, and It
looks a lot like the check for the best legend location is just not
accounting correctly for the multiple legend entries in this case.
Here is an even more minimal example, that I think reproduces the same
problem as Neal's original example.
colors = ['b','g','r']
for n in range(3):
plt.scatter([n,],[n,],color=colors[n])
plt.legend(['foo','foo','foo'],loc='best')
Note that if you just put one legend name in there, the location is
perfectly fine, it is just as it extends downward for the second and
third names, that it covers over the point.
FYI: Im using v1.1.0 mpl, in EPD 7.2.

Aronne, thanks for taking the time to produce a nice example. I can
now recreate the problem. I'm not sure how invasive it will be to fix
this, so it possibly won't make it in for version 1.2, but possibly a
bugfix release after the fact.
For anyone who's interested, here's the github issue:
