I was just going to ask the same.   And as Jeff Whitaker points out,
all x and  y (longitude/latitude) labels also get clipped.

I can understand not considering the position of arbitrarily laid out
text that a user could have put in a random location.  But clipping
something that  is provided by a standard api call, such as a figure
title, does seem much more like a bug than a feature to me, I'm afraid.
