Yes, it was a bug in gnuplot. Thanks to the help of the
people in this list I was able to improve my bug report and,
then, the gnuplot developer was able to find and fix it.
I've just received an email with a patch to gnuplot source
code that fixes the bug. The complete bug report, including
the patch, is here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1458525&group_id=2055&atid=102055
I'm grateful to everyone who made comments in this thread!
