Paul, I may have encountered the same issue a few years ago. May I 
suggest that you look at the mailing list thread from that time [1], try 
the patch in the thread, and see whether your issue is resolved? This 
solution doesn't provide a work-around in your code, but it may fix the 
problem at the root. I took a brief look at the current state of 
spines.py, and I found only the same instances of "self.axis.cla()" that 
the patch changes to "self.axis.reset_ticks()".

Kind regards,

Stan
