The error occurs when there was a warning before the call to filterwarnings():

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.warn('aa', DeprecationWarning)
>>> warnings.filterwarnings('always')
>>> warnings.warn('aa', DeprecationWarning)
>>>

When filterwarnings() is called before warnings, everything is working as expected:

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.filterwarnings('always')
>>> warnings.warn('aa', DeprecationWarning)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: aa
>>> warnings.warn('aa', DeprecationWarning)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: aa
>>>

The problem you describe was covered by Issue4180 and fixed in Python 3.4.2.  From the discussion there, you can see that it was decided to not change the behavior of Python 2.7.
