The current situation with automatic_replot and gnuplot
is difficult.  The only solution I can see is for Octave
to hold off plotting the graph for a while until it knows
whether or not titles, etc. are forthcoming.

For 3.0, you may want to force a clear plot command
each time a new plot is started so that titles, etc.
are cleared, unless hold is on of course.

Handling plotting properly in octave-forge will be crufty
without some changes before 3.0.  Currently it isn't
handled properly.
