DataFrame.plot() fails to pass figsize= and title= when plotting one column against another

[bluefir]

I have Python 2.7.3 and IPython 0.13.1. Do this in IPython Notebook:

%pylab inline

import numpy as np
from pandas import Index, DataFrame

test = DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 2), index=Index(range(10), name='bins'), columns=['x', 'y'])

The following works perfectly fine:

test.plot(figsize=(16, 8), title='Test')

But the following doesn't - figsize and title to not take effect:

test.plot(x='x', y='y', figsize=(16, 8), title='Test')

The output is the same as for

test.plot(x='x', y='y')

Here is another strange behavior I observe. The following works fine and fixes the above issue:

plt.figure(figsize=(16, 8))
test.plot(x='x', y='y')
plt.title('Test')

But the following doesn't work - figsize does not take effect even though title does:

plt.figure(figsize=(16, 8))
test.plot()
plt.title('Test')

This is very confusing. Are these pandas issues or do I have some problems in my local configuration?
