Same for me.
Can you specify space between the text and the border?
Well, as you have added "set object rectangle " ... can the rectangle size 
be specified in char units? Oh yes:

gnuplot> set object 1 rect center 0,0 size char strlen("hello world")+2,3 
gnuplot> set label 1 "hello world" at 0,0 c
gnuplot> plot x

=> so you can close this issue, and consider adding the above example into 
docs for label and for rectangle.

Ethan: gnuplot crashes for "set object 1" .. can you please have a look?
