It works fine for me with Numpy 1.4.0 and matplotlib 0.99.1.2, on Ubuntu. 
So it seems your problem is localised on the older EPD-6.1-1.

The question is: do you need to support this older version of EPD at all? 
The problem does not appear to be that matplotlib has stopped plotting 
masked arrays properly, or that something crucial has changed in Numpy.
