Aha -- here from John (in another thread) is why those lines were commented out:

Since we can't use graphical clipping, this test is trying to make sure the tick location is in the view interval before drawing it. You may want to consider a overridable method 'is_draw_tick' or something along those lines, which defaults to:: mtransforms.interval_contains(self.get_view_interval(), self.get_loc()) """" So, I suppose we'll need to find another solution other than graphical clipping, or a way to do it only when needed to solve the problem at hand (in this thread).
