I don't think we do anything differently for one particular terminal
or another, so I'm guessing this is just a difference in the way the
two gnuplot terminal drivers work.

For example, do you see the same results with

  set style line 1 linewidth 3
  plot sin (x) with lines linestyle 1
  set output "foo.png"
  set terminal png color
  replot
  set output "foo.eps"
  set terminal postscript eps color
  replot

using gnuplot directly?  If so, and you think this is a bug, then
report it to the gnuplot developers.
