I'm running XQuartz 2.6.5.

I don't have any good ideas for how to debug this (we are running different 
versions of MacOS, different versions of X11, and different versions of 
gnuplot).  What would be helpful is to find an install of MacOS 10.8 that is 
able to display the debug.gp file correctly.

When you reported the problem to gnuplot, did you encounter anyone running 
MacOS 10.8?
