I'm on Mac OSX as well and have been working on incorporating more of  
the figure/axes properties into the gnuplot backend. Can  you provide  
a simple example of the problem?

Something like the following

I'm able to run 3.03 and the developers sources. Each produce the  
correct result.  Perhaps you are using a different -dDevice?

For reference please tell us what version of gnuplot you have installed

 > system ("gnuplot --version")

 From the Octave prompt, I get "gnuplot 4.3 patchlevel 0"
