Well, if it's sort of broken now for the betterment of a future release, 
then I can support that.

I have noticed that you can still get your plots to do what you want - 
for the most part - but you just have to specify commands differently.  
I usually do something like

x = 1:100;
figure(1);
plot(x, x.^2);
grid on
title('Title here');
xlabel('x-axis label');
ylabel('y-axis label');

and get nothing beyond the plot.  However, if I do

figure(1);
grid on
title('Title here');
xlabel('x-axis label');
ylabel('y-axis label');
plot(x, x.^2);

everything works okay.  I guess this is like the Yoda style of issuing 
plot commands.
