I think this problem might be specific to Plots’ `gr` backend.  
See this other [post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-plot-curve-over-surface-with-plots-jl/72498) and this [issue](https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/issues/446).

It doesn’t happen for instance with `plotlyjs` or `pythonplot` backends.

**NB:**  
the `gaston` backend seems to have the same limitation.
