It's not a bug. It's an intrinsic limitation of the way gnuplot operates.
Most of the hot-keys, like e=replot l=log-scale, etc, require redrawing the
plot from scratch.  But that is only possible for the currently active
plot window.  We have long since lost the context and information needed
to redraw old plot windows, so we cannot respond to those hot-keys.

Possibly the r=ruler key could default to all windows. I'm not sure.
