What's up with missing contour labels in Mathematica 7.0.0 (OS X/Intel)?

Howdy all.

Something as simple as

ContourPlot[x/Exp[x^2 + y^2], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2},
  ContourLabels -> Automatic]

(taken right out of the documentation forContourLabels)

fails to display any contour labels, nor does it when executed in the 
documentation window.  What am I doing wrong?  Is this a nasty?

FYI: the following option will at least cough up some labels.

ContourLabels ->
  Function[{x, y, z}, Text[Framed[z], {x, y}, Background -> White]]

Thanks,

David Wood
