And now in PDF things are doubly problematic:

gnuplot> plot x
gnuplot> set term pdf
Terminal type set to 'pdf'
Options are ' noenhanced fname 'Helvetica'  fsize 6 linewidth 1.0  '
gnuplot> set output 'foo.pdf'
gnuplot> replot
gnuplot> set output

OK, as expected, red line, black borders.  Now:

gnuplot> set term pdf monochrome
Terminal type set to 'pdf'
Options are 'monochrome noenhanced fname 'Helvetica'  fsize 6 linewidth 1.0  '
gnuplot> set output 'foo2.pdf'
gnuplot> plot x lc rgb "red"
gnuplot> set output

Not only is the PDF file not monochrome, in addition to the line being red, the borders are red.
