Irregular TimedeltaIndex points being spaced regularly along x-axis

[drichman]

This bug shows up when using the plot method of a Series or DataFrame (Series example below) that has a TimedeltaIndex. x-axis time points become regularly spaced rather than spaced according to real time spans.

import pandas as pd

clock_times = pd.to_datetime(['12:00:00','12:23:00','12:30:00','12:45:00','13:54:00','14:15:00'])

elapsed_times = clock_times - clock_times[0]

test_data = pd.Series(data=[1,2,3,4,5,6], index=elapsed_times)

test_data.plot(style='o')

(Going straight to matplotlib is a workaround (plt.plot(test_data.index, test_data).)
