Correct, this still seems to be the case.  Looking at the code in
figure.py, the suptitle() function just creates a text object and places it
at a default location.  Then it simply returns the object without saving a
reference to it being a figure title.  The only reference kept is in the
self.texts list that it keeps.  I see no reason why it has to be this way,
though, and would certainly welcome a patch to fix this oversight (would
make the code involving bbox_tight to be more simple, I think.
