I noticed that semilogx and semilogy don't check if the linear axis (y- axis for semilogx; x-axis for semilogy) is actually linear. Thus, if I call semilogx and then call semilogy *on the same plot*, I end up with a loglog plot.
Below is a simple patch. I'm not sure how useful this fix is since most people wouldn't want to make these calls on the same plot (since the second call would override the first)---I was working interactively in IPython so it did make a difference.
