When using topoplot functions in MNE, I run into problems with the electrode positions that are plotted. Namely, when using the code below, the resulting sensor plots should look identical for the electrodes in chan_selection. However, this is not the case:
import mne
chan_selection = [u'FC5', u'FC1', u'C3', u'CP5', u'CP1', u'FC2', u'FC6', u'C4', u'CP2', u'CP6']
montage1020_full = mne.channels.read_montage(kind='standard_1020', ch_names=None)
montage1020_reduced = mne.channels.read_montage(kind='standard_1020', ch_names=chan_selection)
montage1020_full.plot()
montage1020_reduced.plot()
Full

Reduced

I am aware of a bunch of related issues (e.g., #4880). Issue #3987 seems to be the central issue for this problem ... is anyone working on this currently? It seems like a pretty crucial problem to be solved, given that topoplots are a very common visualization in our domain.
Is this perhaps even affecting the interpolation of voltages across the scalp? Or is this problem merely distorting the "plotted dots" symbolizing the electrodes?
PS: When I use real data and mne.viz.plot_evoked_topomap, I get yet another image for the same electrodes:
