Interesting also that both of you appear to have german as your
default language. I wonder if one of the default fonts you are using
is different and is providing bad font metrics. Could you run a
script in the environment which produces the error with
--verbose-debug, and then again in the environment which doesn't with
the same flag and post the output of both cases. Maybe something
about first installing 0.82 and then removing it makes a difference in
which fonts are found. Just guessing. But verbose-debug will at
least identify which font files are being loaded.
sorry forgot to attach the files 
here the test script:
mpl_deb0.82_good_labels.txt (1.78 KB)
mpl_svn0.87.2_bad_labels.txt (2.39 KB)
mpl_svn0.87.2_good_labels_run_1.txt (7.43 KB)
mpl_svn0.87.2_good_labels_run_2.txt (2.76 KB)
uninstall.sh (504 Bytes)

----------------------------------------------
plot([1,2,3])
xlabel('x-label')
ylabel('y-label')

attached files:
mpl_svn0.87.2_bad_labels.txt
mpl_deb0.82_good_labels.txt
mpl_svn0.87.2_good_labels_run_1.txt
mpl_svn0.87.2_good_labels_run_2.txt
uninstall.sh
what I did:
1)
* no mpl stuff on the machine, removed .matplotlibrc/.tex.cache and
.matplotlibrc/.ttffont.cache
* installed latest svn (0.87.2)
* the 1st run creates .matplotlib/.tex.cache and
./matplotlib/.ttffont.cache
* the --verbose-debug output of a normal run is in
mpl_svn0.87.2_bad_labels.txt
* the x-axis starts at -1, not at 0, labels have the wrong position
2)
* uninstalled 0.87.2 with uninstall.sh
* istalled 0.82 debs
* labels OK, --verbose-debug output in mpl_deb0.82_good_labels.txt
3)
* removed 0.87.2 build folder, *not* $HOME/.tex.cache,
$HOME/.ttffont.cache (which is 0.82 stuff)
* recompiled and installed 0.87.2
* labels OK
* the output of the 1st run where .matplotlibrc/.tex.cache and
.matplotlibrc/.ttffont.cache are created is in
mpl_svn0.87.2_good_labels_run_1.txt (copy-paste from shell)
* the normal-run output is in mpl_svn0.87.2_good_labels_run_2.txt
Now the outputs mpl_svn0.87.2_bad_labels.txt and
mpl_svn0.87.2_good_labels_run_2.txt should show some difference
regarding loaded font libs but they don't ....
