When I ran the script [1] from a python prompt or using 'python -i' then
a huge button pops up with label "do imagesc thingy!". Pressing it opens
another window that is blank. When I close the button window, the 
"imagesc thingy" is finally displayed.

Considering the above behaviour I don't think that the two problems are
related.

Could you provide a simple example that demonstrates only the first
problem?

Also try importing weave *before* importing scipy. This will
avoid ppimport hooks for weave and might solve the first problem.
