Pandas: ValueError plotting bar plot from DataFrame with existing Axes

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

The following code works, and when pasted in a Jupyter Notebook or QT console yields the expected bar plot:

%matplotlib inline
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create some data to plot
df = pd.DataFrame(
        dict(Feature1=[10, 20, 30, 20, 10], Feature2=[3, 2, 3, 2, 3]),
        index=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
)
_ = df.plot(kind='bar', legend=False, y='Feature1', yerr='Feature2', rot=0)

However, as soon as I try to supply a custom Axes instance (so the plot gets put where I want it), it throws an error. Running the following code after the above example throws an error:

fig = plt.figure(0)
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
_ = df.plot(kind='bar', legend=False, y='Feature1', yerr='Feature2', rot=0, axes=ax)

Here is the traceback:

ValueError: Can not reset the axes.  You are probably trying to re-use an artist in more than one Axes which is not supported

Expected Output

I would expect the second plot to work identically to the first plot in this example.
