Hello,

I have run into a problem with the bbox_inches='tight' option which allows a 
tight bounding box to be computed for a plot. In the following example:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl

fig = mpl.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
ax.text(-0.2,0.5,'text',transform=ax.transAxes)
fig.savefig('test.png', bbox_inches='tight')

matplotlib produces a plot where the text label does not appear. This may be 
due to the bounding box algorithm not taking into account text written using 
Axes.text that could fall outside the Axes. One solution is to use set_xlabel 
and set_ylabel, for which the bounding box is correctly calculated, but in some 
cases it is desirable to plot labels outside the box using 'text' (for example 
if multiple labels are needed).

I have submitted a bug report here:

Cheers,

Tom
