Right, this concurs with my observations when I was fiddling around with
mplot3d code over the summer. I am not exactly sure exactly where the fault
lies, but it is related to the Agg backend renderer either not being told
what should be clipped out, or is not understanding the information coming
from mplot3d to know what should be clipped. This will happen in any sort
of situation that moves the plot from the original view.
