You may get better control by specify -xla()- instead.

Well, how close is the third line in my suggestion
line le year, xsc(r(1850 2006)) by(x)
to your desired work-around?

Thanks Martin, you are right! (I also figured this out before sending
my e-mail to the stata-list....).
However: Does anyone know a work-around...?

Try
sysuse uslifeexp, clear
set seed 1001
g x =runiform()>0.5
line le year, by(x)
line le year, xsc(r(1850 2006))
line le year, xsc(r(1850 2006)) by(x)
line le year, by(x, xsc(r(1850 2006)))
and note the different behavior.
