I believe that this is not because of the gnuplot version, but rather
because of the libcairo version.  When tested on a current linux system
(libcairo 1.8.4)  gnuplot 4.4.0 produces the same erroneous pdf output
as gnuplot 4.6.1.

Conversely, both gnuplot 4.4.0 and gnuplot 4.6.0 produce correct output
when run on an older machine with libcairo 1.8.0
