The gray problem was solved by a recent patch that will be in 2.9.13.
I don't see the other problems.  Are you using the gnuplot or jhandles
graphics backend?

| __gnuplot_set__ view map
| __gnuplot_set__ decimal_sign ","
| __gnuplot_set__ pallete rgbformulae 33,13,10
| __gnuplot_raw__ "reset;"
| etc.
|

| "replot" nor with "gnuplot_command_replot".

The __gnuplot_X__ commands no longer have any effect on the
higher-level plot commands.  This is intentional.
