Aha.  Let me guess.
You didn't actually print this file; you are viewing it in ghostview or
gv.
Right?

There is nothing wrong with your gnuplot output, and if you send it to a
printer you will see purple pattern-fill.
The problem is a known bug in ghostscript/ghostview/gv.
It doesn't show pattern-fill unless you disable anti-aliasing.

This has been broken in ghostscript for several years, but no one seems
to care about fixing it.
