Okay. I figured out the problem. You need to pass a dictionary to the
config magic. Here is the relevant code:
%config InlineBackend.print_figure_kwargs = {'bbox_inches':None}
I created a PR with IPython (https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/8051)
to add this information to the %matplotlib documentation, so this doesn't
cause confusion for others.
Thanks to all the IPython and MPL devs for these great tools!
