Follow-up Comment #14:

I tracked this down in a Windows XP VM.  The issue is not new.  The reason the
warning is now visible is because of the change to properly hook up stderr
when popen is called.  It is not Octave, but gnuplot, which is generating the
warning message.  Given that we do not want to change user's preferences as
embodied by the GNUTERM variable, I am marking this as "Won't Fix".

For individual installations where this is bothersome there are several
solutions

1) Unset the GNUTERM environment variable in Windows
2) Set the GNUTERM environment variable to a supported value
3) In Octave, use gnuplot_binary to point to a gnuplot which supports the
required term value
4) In Octave, setenv ('GNUTERM', value) to a known good value such as
"windows"
5) In Octave, unsetenv ('GNUTERM') to have Octave pick the value.
