Thanks for the report.

It is, indeed, incompatible with 'forget plot'.

I have fixed it.

In this example, the line with forget plot is not shown at all in the result. Is this the same problem as described above? I'm not sure how to apply the latest pgfplots without messing up my Tex Live installation.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.12}
%\pgfplotsset{lua backend=false}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}%
\begin{axis}
\addplot coordinates
    {(0, -5) (1, -5) (2, -2) (3, -1) (4, 1)};
\addplot[forget plot] coordinates
    {(0, -8) (1, -7) (2, -4) (3, -6) (4, -3)};
\addplot coordinates
    {(0, -3) (1, 4) (2, 4) (3, 3) (4, 6)};
\end{axis}%
\end{tikzpicture}%
\end{document}

[Christian Feuersänger]

Yes, it is the same problem.

I will try to make a bug fix release during a brief easter vacation.

Unstable releases of pgfplots can be found at http://pgfplots.sourceforge.net/ and I have just uploaded a version which contains the fix.

In order to install it without overwriting any files of your location installation, you can typically place the new version to, say, ~/texmf or some other "local" folder, then run texhash (recomputes the file database), and it should work.
