Of those three packages, I'd say that the least likely to be implicated is
NumPy, making this one probably the list where you'll get the least help.

Since it's a plotting problem I would try the matplotlib-users mailing list,
and include the source of dispersion_plot, or a link to it in the Google
Code code browser for the nltk project, e.g.

http://code.google.com/p/nltk/source/browse/trunk/nltk/nltk/draw/dispersion.py
