OK, I run again pdflatex using shell-escape and the minimal example.
Indeed I have an (intermediate) a.plot.gnuplot file. The content is

set table "a.plot.table"; set format "%.5f"

I can feed it to gnuplot fine and get a file called a.plot.table . 
And yes, I have a nice curve in my resulting pdf file.

This is a pure Debian installation, no local modified files. Could you
add \listfile to the beginning of your TeX file and compare the
output to my one:
