	Good point. I think it was in there because I was having problems with the figure updating as I was making it and compiling it fairly often.

It can also be that the standalone class interferes here, so a test with a "normal" LaTeX class (minimal, article, report, …) can give a hint. With the minimal class no problem occurs, so it must be standalone that changes the process in an unexpected way.
