The scaling of the axes is determined by the "xlim" and "ylim" property values. 
The values of the tickmarks aren't intended to serve that function. Meaning 
they are not treated as line objects when the {x,y}limmode is "auto".  So, I 
think gnuplot and matlab are doing the what is intended (i.e. no bug) ... at 
least they seem to do the correct thing for this example.

If you can give me an example where gnuplot doesn't clip the tick marks, grid 
lines its children, I can take a look at fixing that.

I've cc'd Shai. Perhaps, it is a simple task to crop the tick marks and grid 
lines for the fltk backend.
