I do not know anything about Windows or Cygwin, so I ask the obvious:

Are you sure that both 'pipe-gnuplot.exe' and 'gnuplot.exe' are in your path?
If you remove the semicolon at the end of the

gnuplot_binary = 'pipe-gnuplot gnuplot';

in your octaverc, do you see any message when you start octave?

I know that recent octave version on linux does not like
statements like this.

(E.g. I used to be able to set
gnuplot_binary="tee /tmp/gnuplot-oct.cmd |gnuplot"
no that does not work.)

You may want to create a batch
file, say "mygnuplot.bat" that contains the line

pipe-gnuplot gnuplot $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(you may want to try without those first)

Then you can set gnuplot_binary to

gnuplot_binary = "mygnuplot"

and see what happens.
