The problem appears to happen when gnuplot is receiving commands
through a pipe.  I don't think the problem is specific to Octave.
For example, try this:

  echo "set mouse; plot sin(x)" | gnuplot -persist

and see whether the mouse works as you expect.  When I try it with
gnuplot 4.0 patchlevel 0 on a Debian x86 system, it does not work the
same as when I run gnuplot interactively.  When the commands are piped
in, the coordinates appear in the lower left of the plot window as I
move the cursor around, but the cursor remains an arrow pointer
instead of a cross and zooming does not work.
