By default, when the xy coordinate of the annotate is given in the
data coordinate, it draws the arrow only if the xy point is inside the
axes bbox. And, when the xy point is at the boundary of the axes bbox,
the inside-test results seems to depend on the backend. So, some
backends draws the arrow but others do not.
I'll try to improve the situation but I'm not quite sure how.
Meanwhile, you can turn off the inside-test by setting annotate_clip=False.
ax.annotate("", xy = (0.1, -0.5), xytext = (0.1, -0.2),
arrowprops = dict(arrowstyle = "->"), annotation_clip=False)
IHTH,
