It seems that the latest 4.2 release of gnuplot is 4.2-rc4 from the 24th 
of january. So no, it's not released yet. I think it's okay that 
development octave depends on development gnuplot. So, I think we can 
depend on 4.2 features as long as we're in the 2.9.x series. When octave 
3.0 is released then gnuplot 4.2 needs to be released.

This seems to work great for me. You say that things are slow but I find 
them to be fast enough for my needs.
