Setting the rmargin works for the CVS version. Try with
set rmargin screen 0.8

Interestingly, the right margin is correct, if I use

set cbtics format '%.3f'

which gives you the same number of digits as the default format '%g'.

But I do not know, where this difference comes from. And, If you need 
even more digits, the margin is not correct again.
