Yes.
The parameters to term->fillbox are different than the parameters
to term->filled_polygon.   Any terminal that has support for
filled_polygon can use it to implement fillbox, or not, or make it
conditional.  Core routines that used to call term->fillbox still do so.

yerrorbars draws a vertical line for each data point in the input file.  
That is half the number of lines you would get by drawing both 
curves with lines. Yerrorbars is what the docs say you get if you
specify an "inappropriate" 3-column plotting style, and it turns out to
look quite reasonable in this case. Even the output on the dumb
terminal looks sensible.
