In 2D, plot_border() is always called at the beginning of the plot,
and is called again at the end of the plot if "set border front".

In 3D, draw_3d_graphbox() is called at the beginning of the plot,
but any later calls are under the control of 'set hidden3d' and
'set grid {front|back}'.

The setting of 'set border {front|back}' has no effect in 3D.
I don't know if that is a bug or if it is intentional.
Probably the 'set view map' case should follow the 2D behaviour
rather than the current 3D behaviour.

They are.  The effect you are seeing may be due to the pm3d
rectangles not being centered with respect to the same original as 
the line segments.

See above.
