I've noticed this too.  Something changed when gist was upgraded 
recently to support windows.  The good news is that the ylabel is still 
there --- it's just being masked by an incorrect bounding box.

The bad news is that right now I don't know how to fix it except by 
manually changing the bounding box to be a little wider on the left.

Increase the lower left bounding box number by about 14 points and you 
should be o.k.
