Yes, I believe it is the expected behaviour.

At the time of your first 'set output' the size was set to 1,1
so you created a full-size plot canvas.  That is, the bounding
box encompassed the entire page.

Later you set the size to 1,0.5

At the time of your second 'set output' the size was still
set to 1,0.5  and so you created only a half-size plot canvas.

If you look at the second postscript file you will see that
both of your plots are there; it's just that one of them is
drawn onto the half of the page that is outside the bounding
box.
