I somewhat doubt that encoding is the problem.  A problem involving the
way you send the commands over to gnuplot is more likely. 
Blocking/buffering errors in communication through pipes have been known 
to cause this kind of problem.

Then why would a known-correct script instead of the one written by the 
program also fail?

How are you executing the scripts, once they're generated?
