Dear Christian, pgfplots users,... I figure out my problem In fact, most of work was to produce a minimal complete example of the bug. Like most of the times....
My problem did not come from the addplot command as I presumed, but
from an option of the node command where one can specify the pin
orientation.
I added extra zero in front of angle with value below 100° to have all
angle to be written with 3 digits : This creates the bug. Here is an
example
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[xmin=15,xmax=35,ymin=0,ymax=60]
\node[coordinate,pin=000:{a}] at (axis cs:18.4,15.9) {};
\node[coordinate,pin=015:{b}] at (axis cs:18.5, 4.7) {};
\node[coordinate,pin=090:{c}] at (axis cs:18.7,22.2) {};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
As I like to have nice layout code, I have added the 0 in front the
angle. ( The code is generated with command such as
sprintf('%03d',angle))
This example used to work with previous version of pgfplots...
I have changed my LaTeX, as I am concerned, it is ok, but quite annoying
Here are the logs with the previous and new version pgfplots where
the example below worked.
