Gnuplot doesn't have to assume that a linear function is to be fitted
since the user already provides its form:

f(x)=a+b*x
fit [rangeinfo] f(x) via a,b

So, no reason for f(x) to behave in a strange way for a=0, or to assume
anything else then exactly the type of function the user is requesting
for. And, as mentioned, there are standard Levenberg-Marquardt
algorithms which do not stumble over that. Therefore, I would guess,
that the problem is caused by the implementation into gnuplot rather
than by the method itself.
