Details:

I attached two scripts where I can see some inconsistencies for which property
is inherited from a parent/related object and which isn't. 

In plotyyproblem.m, I have defined the position and the units property of the
axis, then call plotyy() for that axis. Now I know that technically, plotyy()
creates two new axes with new handles and everything, but I think I found a
bug concerning the inheritance of certain properties for the new axes. 

Under Linux, the output is 
Y1 units = normalized
Y2 units = normalized
and I can see both y-axes at the specified position, even though the units are
set to normalized again. 

Under Windows, the output is 
Y1 units = pixels
Y2 units = normalized
and the position property contains the specified position for both axes, so
that I can't see the secondary axes with the position being [50 50 300 300] in
normalized units. 
It looks like some properties aren't consistently inherited from the first
axis, but it's a little frustrating that it seems to depend on the OS of all
things. 

In colorbarproblem.m, a colorbar is added after the units and position of the
axis was modified. 
Here, under both Linux and Windows, the output is 
colorbar position = 320   50   18  300
colorbar units = normalized
and the colorbar is off-charts, just like the secondary y-axis under Windows
for the plotyyproblem.

I marked this as a bug for the 5.1 release but it also happens in 6.0.9. Also
I'm not sure if it's related to bug #58479 or any of the bugs linked there?
