Tested in master with the qt4agg backend on OSX, examples/api/custom_scale_example.py fails at the point of drawing the y-label unless rcParams[axes.axisbelow] = False. This has always been the default, but #6287 proposes a change to a new option, which triggers the failure. Modifying the example to change axisbelow to True also triggers it, with the following traceback:
