|     xlabel("X");

|     plot (x, cos(x));

| 
|     figure(1)
|     x=1:0.01:10;
|     xlabel("X");
|     title ("Sin(x)");
|     ylabel("Y");
|     plot (x,sin(x));

| 
|     figure(1)
|     x=1:0.01:10;
|     plot (x,sin(x));
|     xlabel("X");
|     title ("Sin(x)");
|     ylabel("Y");
| 
| or adding "hold on" as in
| 
|     figure(1)
|     x=1:0.01:10;
|     hold on;
|     xlabel("X");
|     title ("Sin(x)");
|     ylabel("Y");
|     plot (x,sin(x));
| 
| Is this what matlab does?

Yes.

| Was it a deliberate choice to handle things this way?

Yes.  Functions like plot call newplot, which clears the current axes
object, so the labels are deleted.  I don't think it was just the
recent change that made the difference.
