Excellent!
Alex, if you have some suggestions for Octave's README.MacOS, you can email
them to me and I'll have them added.

Yes. One unfortunate feature of gnuplot is that each terminal is responsible
for text object placement. Thus, the text is not positioned in a consistent
manner across different terminals.
With 3.4.x, all output via the print command are derived from EPS. This allows
Octave to produce consistent output. We've also made some tweaks to "aqua"
output to more closely match the x11 and wxt output.
