Actually, I can replicate the problem, and I found the bug report. 
FWIW, I posted some comments and links here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/1401/?limit=25&page=1#aab6

I suspect a fix not involving manual XInitThreads() might be work beyond 
the current release.  (Is it that graphics/GUI action is taking place in 
the secondary thread when it isn't supposed to?)

Anyway, I think gnuplot configure is obligated to add -lX11, given the 
situation.
