How can I use struct2handle for a figure with a legend?

In the below example in R2014a, I am getting an error due to missing property.

>> f = figure('name','test');
>> plot(1:10);
>> legend('test');
>> s = handle2struct(f);
>> f2 = struct2handle(s,0);
Error using scribe.legend/get
The name 'ScribePLegendListeners' is not an accessible property for an instance of class 'legend'.
Error in scribe.legend/init>changedString (line 297)
    newlis = get(h,'ScribePLegendListeners');  
Warning: Error occurred while evaluating listener callback.

I am trying to avoid using the hgsave/hgload functions as I would like to prepare and save multiple figures in the one mat file, to be manipulated by seperate process.
