So what made you assume the Tab key was supposed to be "working"?

What you're observing there is not so much a problem as a feature that 
wasn't built into your gnuplot executable.  MacOS has recently made it 
unreasonably hard to build gnuplot with full GNU readline support, by 
shipping a fake readline.  Looks like whoever built that fink package 
has capitulated before those obstacles.
