That seems odd.  Please report the output from
  gnuplot -e "show version long"

There should be an entry  +GD_PNG
If this is present then it indicates that indeed the program should
be able to read png files.  If it's missing then I guess something
must have gone wrong with the configure+build at a later stage after
it had already reported that it was going to include png support.
You might have a look in config.log for error messages that mention
libgd. But really the info you show is self-contradictory so I
don't have a good guess at what could be wrong.
