It's intentional.
In order to zoom, it needs to reread the input data.
But if the data is in-line that is not possible.

I suppose that in principle the input stream during a 
plot '-' command could be copied to a temp file so that
it was available for re-reading.  That might be a useful
thing for more reasons than just mouse zooming.
