The problem is not a bug; it is inherent in the fundamental design. 
Therefore I moved the ticket over to feature requests.  I want to keep 
the bugs list for real bugs that we can realistically expect to solve 
fairly quickly.

I don't know whether Andrew Straw's wx sizer-inspired code (mplsizer 
toolkit) solves the problem or not.  My impression is that it does 
not--I think it is working with the Axes positions, not with axis and 
tick labels, which are what cause most of the difficulties.
