Why does pylab.matshow() create a new figure by default when no other
standard pylab function I know of does that? It seems very
inconsistent for no particular gain, since as always
figure();matshow(m) will achieve that result if that is what is
desired.

No: matshow has to create a figure with a non-standard size so that
the final figure has the same aspect ratio as the array being
displayed. If you call figure() first, the figure has already been
created.
The code:
# Extract actual aspect ratio of array and make appropriately sized figure
w,h = figaspect(arr)
fig = figure(fignum,figsize=(w,h))
