simple uxarray.plot(backend="matplotlib") seems to break subsequent xarray.plot functionality

How did you install UXarray?

Conda

What happened?

A simple plotting call of a ux data array works fine:

ds['weights'].plot(backend="matplotlib").opts(
    cmap="viridis", title="Land Weights"
)

But then simple xarray.plot() call won't create a plot (e.g.

global_mean[plotVars[i]].plot() 

NOTE leaving off the backend="matplotlib" seems to prevent this issue from occurring

What did you expect to happen?

plotting seamlessly between uxarray and basic matplotlib figures in a workflow

Can you provide a MCVE to repoduce the bug?
