Is there any reason this should be a terminal-specific function?

Works fine for me.
The problem may be in your viewer, not in gnuplot+pdflib.
I'm assuming you know about the configuration file

I suppose it depends on how much text is contained inside your plots.
I have been perfectly happy with importing *.eps plots produced by
'set term post eps' into LaTeX documents.
