Ordinal rangePoints are ignored

[heavysixer]

Ordinal rangePoints are ignored when being applied in this manner:

.x(function(x){
    x
    .domain(data)
    .rangePoints([0, chart.width()],1);
    // this produces the correct range but is reverted when the chart is rendered.
    console.log(x.rangePoints([0, chart.width()],1).range())
  })

More than likely this is also a problem with other scale setters as well.
You can see an example of the reverted scale range using this simple feature:

  d4.feature('pathSeries', function(name) {
    return {
      accessors: {
        classes: function(){
          return 'path';
        }
      },
      render: function(scope, data, selection) {
        selection.append('g').attr('class', name);
        var group = selection.select('.' + name).selectAll('g').data(data);
        group.exit().remove();
        group.enter().append('g');
        var path = group.selectAll('path')
        .data(function(d){
          return d.values;
        });
        path.enter().append('path')
        .attr('class', d4.functor(scope.accessors.classes).bind(this))
        .attr('transform', function(d) {

          // produces the wrong value
          console.log(this.x(d))
          this.x.rangePoints([0, this.width],1);

          // produces the correct value
          console.log(this.x(d))

          return 'translate(' + this.x(d) + ',' + (this.height / 2) + ')';
        }.bind(this))
        .attr('d', d3.svg.symbol().type(String).size(this.height));
      }
    };
  }).call(this);
