Oh my God, check this out:

I added print statements before and after the various plot/text calls
like so:

print, tp[0].YRANGE
c = PLOT( [date_time[idx[i]],date_time[idx[i]]], tp[0].YRANGE, $
XTICKFORMAT='LABEL_DATE', $
LINESTYLE='dashed', $
/OVERPLOT, $
BUFFER=buffer )
print, tp[0].YRANGE
t = TEXT( date_time[idx[i]], (tp[0].YRANGE)[1], $
comment[idx[i]], $
FONT_SIZE=7, $
/DATA, $
TARGET=tp[0], $
ALIGNMENT=0.5, $
VERTICAL_ALIGNMENT=1.0 )
print, tp[0].YRANGE

This is the output:

0.0000000 350.00000
0.0000000 400.00000
0.0000000 400.00000

So the PLOT() command uses the "busted" YRANGE property value, but doing
so "fixes" it.

WTF?

I give up.
