Hello Tatsuro,
thank you for your quick reply.
When I tried to reproduce the error I found that I had a a comma at the
end of the plot command, even though no more input was following.
Gnuplot did not complain about it.
After I corrected the syntax, both ways to set the y range worked again.
I still don't know why the behavior was different but I regard this
problem as solved.
