Phil expressed some concerns regarding similar transform problems with
Collections. I don't think these have been addressed yet.

There have also been a few bug fixes that have popped up in the last few
days. Jens Nielsen has a couple of bounding box tweaks to make tables work
with bbox_inches='tight'. There was also another issue opened regarding the
parsing of the edgecolors kwarg in ax.pcolor.

Jens' pull request is a bug fix, in my opinion. It is currently targeted
for master (as is the currently milestoned 1.2 PR regarding transforms) but
I don't see any reason for it to not make 1.2. If others feel the same then
I would rather see it targeted properly as opposed to it being
cherry-picked.
