This is a bug in pgfplots macro pgfplotsdefineaxistype, which uses an explicit
\begin{axis} ... \end{axis} instead of the more portable \axis ... \endaxis.
Attached is a quick fix, but it has been quite a while since I looked at
pgfplots code, so it may be better to post a bug-report on pgfplots mailing
list for a proper fix.
