Cannot plot a simple map over Africa if lon_0 is not equal to zero #347

I have a quite simple global 0.1 degree image that I would like to put onto a map. The code for reproducing the problem is the following.

    m = Basemap(width=12000000, height=8000000,
                resolution='l', projection='stere',
                lat_ts=0, lat_0=0, lon_0=21.)
    # m = Basemap(width=9000000, height=9000000,
    #             projection='aeqd', lat_0=0, lon_0=1)
    lons = np.arange(-179.95, 180.01, 0.1)
    lats = np.arange(-89.95, 90.01, 0.1)
    data = np.random.random((1800, 3600))
    lons, lats = np.meshgrid(lons, lats)
    x, y = m(lons, lats)
    m.pcolormesh(x, y, data,
                 latlon=False, cmap='RdBu')
    # m.imshow(np.flipud(anom)[1500:2470,600:1200])
    m.drawcoastlines()
    m.drawcountries()
    plt.show()

The result is the following:
basemap-stere_lon_0 21

Changing lon_0 from 21 to 0 gives the following:
basemap-stere_lon_0 0

I've also tried this with aeqd and laea projections with the same results.
