Although I don't have a precise definition of "Tufte-style range frame"to go by, I think my intention was to do exactly what you're after.
I don't know how hard it would be to automatically increase the clipping box size by the size (line width or marker size, including edge width) of any artists on the border -- I imagine it may require querying backends in a way they don't currently support.
