It seems this stopped working after commit r8906 (svn) or

I have opened a ticket on GitHub:

Hello,
It seems that at some point in the last few months a change was made that means
that the following code no longer works properly:
---
import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
mpl.rc('text', usetex=True)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_a
