Oops, sorry. I was too quick to answer.

The line you have to change is not the one that says
  
<g id="gnuplot_plot_1_keyentry" ...

That changes the visibility of the key entry itself.
The visibility of the corresponding plot can be changed on a
preceeding line.
 
An example change to hide plot 1 on entry would look like this:
