I don't think this is just an issue of "bbox_inches" option. For example, if you create an axes of rect=[0,0,1,1] and save the figure (w/o bbox_inches option), you will see a similar behavior. Also, I believe that the result depends on the backends.
I think this kind of issue is quite difficult to resolve and I doubt if this will be solved anytime soon. Any contribution will be very much appreciated.
