[BUG] areaplot! failing with layout

[Iddingsite]

Details

areaplot! cannot be used with layout:

using Plots

x = 1:3
y = [1 2 3; 7 8 9; 4 5 6]

hdl = plot(framestyle=:box, layout=(2,1))
plot!(hdl[1], title="test")
plot!(hdl[2], title="test")
scatter!(hdl[1], x, y, seriescolor = [:red :green :blue])
areaplot!(hdl[1], x, y, seriescolor = [:red :green :blue], fillalpha = [0.2 0.3 0.4])

This fails at the areaplot! line:

ERROR: Cannot convert Plots.Subplot{Plots.GRBackend} to series data for plotting

Although, this works:

l = @layout [a ; b]

p1 = plot(title="test")
p1 = scatter!(p1, x, y)
p1 = areaplot!(p1, x, y)

p2 = plot(title="test")

plot(p1, p2, layout=l)

Maybe the first way of plotting is not recommended?
