I looked into the code, and found that somebody actually code this special
behaviour explicitly (see graphics.c:get_arrow()).  I don't think that's a
good idea.  But it's not exactly a surprise, either.  The subtle
difference between relative and absolute numbers is quite definitely not
handled consistently in current gnuplot.
