Thanks for the report, Jason. It's a bug - could you please file
a bug report, so we can keep track of it? 

It looks like this gets triggered by the fact that the ylabel is
being clipped. I don't have time to look into this further, but
here are two workaround for you.  Either do:

  figure.subplotpars.right=.8 # make smaller if still crashes

or if it's an option, use gtkagg, which doesn't suffer from the crash.

  from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg import FigureCanvasGTKAgg
as FigureCanvasGTK

best,
