Description
Trying to run the [`save_background.py`](https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/blob/master/examples/save_background.py) example with basemap 1.0.7 and matplotlib 2.0 does not produce the expected two figures with the same background. Instead the second figure only has the parallels and meridians plotted, without the background.

Research direction
Start with examples/save_background.py and run it with Basemap 1.0.7 and matplotlib 2.0 to reproduce the missing background in the second figure. Compare both generated figures; the issue is resolved when they show the same background, including the parallels and meridians.
