That looks pretty convoluted. What are you really trying to do, and why? It looks like you are trying to transplant an Axes from one figure to another; add_axes doesn't do that. I'm not sure add_axes should even include a signature in which an axes instance is the argument; it is part of the behavior in which add_axes returns an existing Axes if it can find one that matches the requested args and kwargs. There was probably a good reason for this, but it looks to me like excessive overloading of add_axes--making it do something other than what its name clearly states it should do. The Figure instance is a required argument when creating an Axes instance. Axes are not designed to be copied or moved between figures, as far as I can see.
