I've debugged the problem ... found that call of ReadConsoleInput() in 
ConsoleGetch() does not work ... used getch() instead of ConsoleGetch() does 
not work either ... tried a trivial C program with #include <conio.h> and
printf("%i\n", getch()) works ok in native Windows but it doesn't in Wine 
... and then found this bug report:
http://wine.1045685.n5.nabble.com/Bug-11243-New-getch-receives-imput-without-keys-being-pressed-td1562354.html

=> the solution is: in order to run gnuplot.exe correctly in wine, you must 
run it by either of these ways:

wineconsole gnuplot

wineconsole cmd
gnuplot

wine start gnuplot

wine start cmd
gnuplot

and not

wine cmd
gnuplot

This way, gnuplot.exe works fine even under wine!
