Actually, since posting I have partially got this to work in that
manner.  The trick is using the same linetype for the two plots; trying
to set the second plot's linecolor to the first's ends up changing the
color to black.

The downside is I'm getting *both* points and error bars superimposed
on top of each other.  This isn't quite as terrible, as the figures end
up rather small in the final pdf, and it's hard to notice.  Ideas on
that are welcome, though...
