This is closely related to existing bug report #2163532 on the
SourceForge bug tracker

 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2163532&group_id=2055&atid=102055
 
Several fixes addressing this problem were made already, but clearly 
there are still remaining problems.

I think that is expected behaviour.  The key is always placed inside the
plot by default.  The fact that your example sort of worked in 4.2 is an
accident.  In fact the key box was placed quite incorrectly, but in your
case it just happened to leave the top line of the key in an acceptable
position.

Indeed. 
I have added that to the list of problems on the tracker item.
