Version 5.0 differs from earlier versions in several ways.
This is why it got a new major version number (4->5) rather
than just a bump from 4.6 to 4.8.
The keyword "dashed" is no longer needed, and indeed is ignored.
Instead you can set dashed lines at any time. Please read the
Release Notes and the section on significant changes in the
user manual.
Having said that, the error you report below doesn't seem related
to dashed lines. I believe the issue is that the "test" command
demonstrates a number of gnuplot features that are not supported
by all terminal types. In particular it prints a short string
in enhanced text mode, but enhanced text mode is not quite the
same as latex markup so it is not process correctly by the
cairolatex terminal. This can be considered a bug in the "test"
command, but it should not affect normal plotting.
