Simplest answer:
 
  Add a line at the end of your script file "pause mouse key"
  Now invoke it like this:

     gnuplot infile &

  Mousing will continue to work, including middle-click to print coordinats
  on the plot, until you hit some keyboard key while the plot window has focus.

More information:

  There are two things contributing to your problem.
  
  One is that you would do better to use "set view map" 
  rather than "set view 0,0".
  
  However there is apparently an x11 terminal specific bug that
  prevents your test case from working even with set view map.
  The development version of gnuplot contains a fix, 
  but that doesn't help you right now.
