subplot2grid weird for non-square shapes

If been playing around with the new Gridspec and subplot2grid stuff,
and it's pretty cool... one thing is confusing me though: It doesn't
seem to make any sense if the grid is non-square. For example,
suppose a 2x6 grid, which I will number like so:

1 3 5 7 9 11
2 4 6 8 10 12
I want ax1 to take up 1,2,3, and 4; ax2 to be 5,6,7,8; ax3 should be 9
and 11; and ax4 should be 10 and 12. My assumption would be to do
this:

ax1=plt.subplot2grid((2,6),(0,0),rowspan=2,colspan=2)
ax2=plt.subplot2grid((2,6),(0,2),rowspan=2,colspan=2)
ax3=plt.subplot2grid((2,6),(0,4),rowspan=2,colspan=1)
ax4=plt.subplot2grid((2,6),(1,4),rowspan=2,colspan=1)

But instead, apparently random partterns of axes appear and some to
override each other so that only one subplot is present in the end...
what's going on here?

Thanks for reporting.
It turns out a (major) bug in gridspec, which should be fixed in r8667 & r8668.
You code should work (except the rowspan and colspan needs to be
exchanged for ax3 and ax4).
