There is an explicit offset of one pixel on the left when it sets up a clip box in Agg. I don't know why this is there, but it dates back to 0.98.0, and earlier versions did something completely different. I can only guess it was to compensate for an earlier bug in the precise drawing of the axes rectangle. I can't explain why it would have different behavior on Windows vs. Linux, though.
I have fixed this in SVN r6465 and am including a patch below (which unfortunately requires a recompile).
