Yes, as a matter of fact I create an identical basemap object as the plotted gridded data. And the lines (tropical cyclone tracks) plot fine as long as the projection is 'cyl'.

Bruce:  Can you post a self-contained example?

        I have a basemap figure where data is placed atop, which can

        unless I'm using the cylindrical equidistant projection.

        From what I gather this is a limitation of the plot command.
         Can anyone confirm this?  Is this a limitation in that the
        'cyl' projection is assumed by pyplot.plot?

        I saw a post that mentioned that a projection kwarg would not
        be added to the plot command.  Does this mean that the plot
        command will realize the projection of the gca basemap?

    Bruce:  Did you convert the coordinates of the data you're
    plotting with pyplot.plot to map projection coordinates (by
    passing the lat/lon values to the Basemap instance)?
