Yes, positive. That's with the gp5.0 release.

set xyplane 10
plot sin(x)
save "ticken"

fgrep "ticsl" ticken
set ticslevel 10

fgrep "xypl" ticken
(not found)

BUT:

set xyplane at 10
plot sin(x)
save "tocken"

fgrep "xypl" tocken
set xyplane at 10

fgrep "ticsl" tocken
(not found)

So, in other words, it works with 
	set xyplane at ...
but not with 
	set xyplane ...

Moreover, the default setting is set xyplane ...,
which means that, by default, gnuplot writes out
set ticslevel, not set xyplane.
