I think you've found a bug.

Using gnuplot, the example below gives me two plots what are each the correct 
size.

close all
graphics_toolkit fltk
orient landscape
sombrero
print foo.png
print ("bar.png", sprintf ("-S%d,%d", 6*150, 8*150))

With fltk, the first is correct, but the 2nd is not. Does this example 
duplicate what you see ?

I've filed a bug report.
