Version 5 was supposed to remove the difference between 
   using N    and   using ($N)
but it seems that this is a case where they are still treated
differently, as they were in earlier gnuplot versions.
So on the one hand it's always been this way, but on the other hand
it was intended to change. Let's call it a bug.

Note that using ($N) and using (column(N)) and using (column("head"))
all share the same input processing.  So this bug is not specific
to column headers.
