This is a bug in pgfplots macro pgfplotsdefineaxistype, which uses an explicit \begin{axis} ... \end{axis} instead of the more portable \axis ... \endaxis. Attached is a quick fix, but it has been quite a while since I looked at pgfplots code, so it may be better to post a bug-report on pgfplots mailing list for a proper fix.
