Hi Andi,
Unfortunately, I can't run the GTKAgg backend, but I checked your code
snippet on the backends I have on my system. It seems this behavior is
really inconsistent:
Works:
* agg
* qt4agg
* tkagg
Doesn't work:
* pdf
* macosx
To be honest, I don't understand the magical workings of the backends very
well. I've copied the developer list since the consistency of backends
seems like a relevant issue.

P.S. Andi: Be sure to "reply all" since the mailing list doesn't
automatically do this for some reason.
