I have removed this untentional behaviour by the enclosed patch. Do you like
it? Try to play with (un)commenting lines below:

#set label 1 "ahoj" at 0,1 tc palette frac 1
set label 1 "ahoj" at 0,-1 tc rgbcolor "#0000FF"
#set style line 2 lt palette frac 1
set style line 2 lt rgb "#0000FF"

plot x w l ls 2

Note:
  splot x w l # ls 2
does not work due to a bug described below.


***

There seem to be one bug and one "inconsistency" in the current explicit
"rgb" functionality:

1. The splot acts as "with line palette" instead of a plot with blue lines:

set style line 1 lt rgb "#0000FF"
plot x*x with l ls 1
pause -1
splot x with l ls 1


2. I think that the rgb command should be the same for both label and
linetype, i.e. "rgb$color":
        plot sin(x) lt rgbcolor "#FF00FF"
currently reports an error.
