I've seen such an error before, but can't remember what the issue was. For
the record, my working config is:
python 2.6
numpy 1.5.x (can't check trunk right now, I'd have to recompile MPL)
sphinx 1.0.1
docutils 0.6
numpydoc 0.3.1

This may be an actual bug in trunk which is not in 1.5.x. It gets quite far
reading sources and then chokes on a specific docstring, so I think your
toolchain is fine.
