seaborn: FacetGrid legend missing colors in key

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.patches as patches
import seaborn as sns
sns.set_style('whitegrid')

test = sns.load_dataset("tips")
g = sns.FacetGrid(test,
                  col="sex",
                  hue="smoker",
                  size=4, aspect=1)
g = (g.map(sns.pointplot, "time", "total_bill").add_legend())

Problem description

For some reason I cannot get the colors from the plot to appear in the key: screen shot 2017-05-02 at 6 15 43 pm

Here is my setup:

I was on a much earlier version of Matplotlib (1.5.1), and tried upgrading to 2.0 but that did not fix the issue.

@kning It is very explicit but it works.There is obviously something wrong with getting the patches from the FacetGrid object. github_pointplot-legend_solution _programmatic

Is there a solution for this? Can factorplot be used with a custom map function like in FacetGrid?. I have a custom histogram function for plotting on each facet. It plots the data fine but I have the same issue with the legend missing the colors.
