I agree, and I was aware of this problem. It arises from the fact that
the "tight" state is not saved, as I think it should be. I will look
into fixing that.

That seems to me like a more complex and confusing solution than saving
the "tight" setting, and keeping it until it is explicitly changed by
its own setter, by autoscale_view, or by margins. The default for
autoscale_view will then be to change "tight" only if the kwarg is
provided and is not None.
