matplotlib and scipy_core (no numarray)

I managed to compile matplotlib only with scipy (scipy_core), however,
when I try to import pylab, I get an import error as numerix strangely
tries to import numarray (even though it is not on my system). Is this
a bug? If so, what is the best workaround?

In [1]: from pylab import *
