XTickLabelRotation for plotyy in MATLAB 2014bis not working.

I need to plot data with two y-axis with common x-axis [date and time]. And later i would like to rotate the 'XTickLabel' by 60 degrees. Code:

x= [now-.5 now-.3 now];;
y1=[20 35 15];
y2 = [9 10 11];
plotyy(x,y1,x,y2);
datetick('x',31,'keepticks')
h=gca;
h.XTickLabelRotation = 60;
xlabel('Date&Time');

The 'xlabel' and some part of the XTickLabel are hidden. It is working perfectly for 'plot' and if I run the same code for 'plotyy' it is not working. How to solve this issue?

Another model example of a well written question!

Clear reproduction steps, a description of the problem, etc.

Plotyy creates two axes on top of each other, one of who's xtick labels is off. Since gca is non-deterministic, you're apparently setting the wrong one. Thus set both of them!

x= [now-.5 now-.3 now];
y1=[20 35 15];
y2 = [9 10 11];
ax = plotyy(x,y1,x,y2);
datetick('x',31,'keepticks')
[ax.XTickLabelRotation] = deal(60);
xlabel('Date&Time');

@Sean de Wolski : Still the same issue and I see no difference to the old one. Please look into the attachments for the plot.

The tick labels are just too long. Pick a different format, shrink the axes, or choose a different rotation.

@ Sean de Wolski: you said that "The tick labels are just too long".I have an another example where x-axis is no more date&time it is a numeric still the same error is reproduced. Look into the attachments. If the rotation is more than 20° it fails.
