This is admittedly more of a band-aid than a proper fix, but at least make the generated figure correct. The underlying problem is the more fundemental one of inconsistent units behavior in which some artists can be re-united after plotting (e.g. Line2D), while many others (e.g. Collections) cannot. Thus, until that is addressed (which is one of the goals of the data-prototype work), simply setting units early is as good as we can do. Closes #5051
