I do not consider it a bug.
If the user has a reason to shift all the labels to the left or right,
why should the program suddenly not draw one?  If it were my plot in
that case, I'd be very annoyed if the label were suddenly not plotted
at all just because I gave an offset.


By the way.  As to why no bug report has previously been filed
for "set [xy]tics offset <xdel>", my guess is that people accomplish
essentially the same thing by changing the format instead.
E.g.
     set xtics format "   %.2g" left
