A possible related issue is the difference between how Matlab and Octave have 
implemented listeners.

Might the axes createfcn be triggered by a change to the parent figure's 
"children" property?

In any event, I think it a good idea to move to bring this up on the 
maintainer's list.

Let me know if you'd like me to do that.
