I see what you mean. Probably the easiest way around
that is to specify -ysize()- instead of -aspect()-:

*----------------- begin example ------------------
sysuse auto, clear
graph hbar price, over(foreign)         ///
                  aspectratio(.3)       ///
                  name(aspect, replace)
graph hbar price, over(foreign)         ///
                  ysize(3)              ///
                  name(ysize, replace)
*----------------- end example --------------------
