That's extremely bizarre.  I've never seen such an error.

Could you please try:

- remove/rename your ~/.ipython directory so you get a clean reinstall 
of your configuration, in case it's corrupted.

- post an actual copy/paste log of your work session, in case that 
shakes my brain in the right direction.

Cheers,
