Ok.  Except for a difference in the tightinset in the 4 digit to the right of the decimal, he script runs cleanly for me.

Even so, it is good news that we can see the problem.  Before going further perhaps we should make sure there aren't any problem with the build process?  Can you try a clean build and then run the script?

        hg purge
        ./bootstrap
        configure ....
        make ....
        ./run-octave --no-gui

You'll likely get the same result, but there is something unexpected happening, so I think this is a good place to start.

For what it worth I have the same problem as Stefan (on Fedora 19/x86-64 with yesterday's hg pull).

Note that running the script for the second time returns no error:

Dimitri,

Thanks for the confirmation.  The problem looks to be in the graphics initialization process for the tick label extents... which is still a mystery for me.

But I have no idea why this only occurs for the first plot.
