Fine. I have re-run my test sequence using version 4.0
  set size 2,2
  set term <foo>
  set output '2.foo'
  plot sin(x)

Here are the results:

	mif	Bounding box remains unchanged, plot scale is doubled

	dumb	segfault
	emf	Abort
	cgm	Abort
	png	image is twice the size requested in "set term"
	pbm	image size is twice default
		(4.0 had no "set term pbm size ..." option)

	fig	"set term fig inches size 3 3"
		resulting plot extends from -2 to 4 inches on y
		and from 1 to 7 inches on x

	post	%%BoundingBox: -454 50 554 1490
		(size 1,1 gives %%BoundingBox: 50 50 554 770)
	eps	%%BoundingBox: 50 50 770 554
		(size 1,1 gives %%BoundingBox: 50 50 410 302)

	epslatex	result depends on the TeX options in the
			surrounding document

So I find no change between 4.0 and 4.1,
except that I recently added a "set term pbm size xx,yy" option.
