I think that, as axes in matplotlib, by default, has adjustable='box', it should be okay without explicitly setting adjustable='box' in most cases. With explicit adjustable='bbox', * you will fix when a user accidentally provided an axes with wrong adjustable value. * On the other hand, you will prohibit any axes sharing when Basemap is used (there are cases when axes sharing is fine even if the aspect is set to "equal"). So, I guess my point is that it might be good in this case to let the user be responsible for what he is doing. Since I'm not a regular Basemap user, it is just my point of view (which might be wrong) from the outside.
