Just because animations.py worked before doesn't mean it wasn't
broken. :)  Sequencing of copy_from_bbox with draw_events was one of
the pain points for me and something I want to make easier to get
right from a general Figure() standpoint, which would also address
problems with the macosx backend.  (Could be a few months before I can
get back to that level of developing though.)  So I wouldn't be
surprised if you revealed I'm doing something wrong in this case.

Thanks for testing Ben -- I'm seeing some of these artifacts too, eg
on examples/animation/subplots.py.  I may be transposing a row/col
argument somewhere, which is easy to do.  Also, I'll have to dig into
the animations.py code a little more to make sure it is doing the
copy_from_bbox background after each draw event so that everything is
properly sized.  Since these examples worked fine before my changes,
though, it is pretty clear where the culprit is :-)
