Not bugs.
Consider that you can toggle the grid on/off interactively.
This would be useless if all the current grid settings were lost every
time you toggled it off.   "set/unset grid" with no extra keywords 
should be considered as "display or don't display the current grid".

Similar argument for tics.  The assumption is that while the user probably
will not want the same specific tic placements on successive plots, they 
probably will want the same font/linewidth/ticscale/etc formatting.  
In your case this assumption is apparently wrong.

You confuse me a bit by saying that you

That seems very close to what the program assumes: no change to what
the tics "look like", only where they are placed.

In the environment you describe, perhaps one solution is to create
a set of short scripts each of which fully describes the tic properties.
Then your overall script would refer to the desired style each time:
set multiplot
load 'tic_style_A.gp'
plot ...
load 'tic_style_B.gp'
plot ...
load 'tic_style_C.gp'
plot ...
unset multiplot
