Humm, this does what you want:

Window,1
PLOT, t, y1, $
Title = "Ticks unmatched - " + $
"but annotation is suppressed in middle", $
POSITION = p1, $
XSTYLE = 1, $
XTICKINTERVAL = 4, $
XMINOR = 4
XTICKFORMAT='(A0)'
PLOT, t, y2, $
NOERASE = 1, $
POSITION = p2, $
XSTYLE = 1, $
XTICKUNITS = ['Months', 'Years'], $
XTICKINTERVAL = 4, $
XMINOR = 4

But on my output it looks like someone has gone in there
with a magic marker and scribbled all over the left side
of the plot. Do you see that, too?

Cheers,

David
