Title: Fail to export properly to svg and pdf with interactive paths

Export to SVG and PDF fails with [path_editor.py](http://matplotlib.org/examples/event_handling/path_editor.html) and similar programs, but it works fine with PNG. Indeed, the paths generated interactively are missing on the saved images.

It was tested on 1.2.1 and master.
