Hi,
that issue has been discussed in this list and I thought we had decided 
to use the plot option plot_realpart with a default value of false (that 
is what the manual says too); however, the plot_realpart option is no 
longer being accepted by plot2d. I will investigate what's going on; I 
might be responsible for this bug :(

Thanks for reporting on this.
Cheers,
Jaime
