Tikzscale does not work with groupplots larger than 1x2

[anates]

When trying to combine a groupplots-figure with tikzscale scaling fails for group plots larger than 1x2. Compiling

it fails with

! Package pgfplots Error: Error: Plot height `-66.36208pt' is too small. This c
annot be implemented while maintaining constant size for labels. Sorry, label s
izes are only approximate. You will need to adjust your height..

Are there possible solutions for that issue?
