under octave with gnuplot using terminal 'x11' the border is continuous
in the figure window however it is dashed in the output file that was
generated by "saveas(h1,'bug.svg')".

I am using:
3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.10-1 (2013-12-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am using gnuplot with 'wxt' terminal. Using FLTK give the same results
as gnuplot with 'x11', i.e. continuous in the figure windows but dashed
in the output file. (It should be noted that FLTK doesn't give me dashed
line at all. Even when it should be dashed... but that might be another
bug ...)

Yes. They are dashed also in the 'wxt' figure window when zooming in. I
assume that by 'print' you mean 'printing to file' because I didn't
printed the image by printer. Only inspected the file with
'inkscape' (svg drawing software).

Well, yes but for some reason it is harder to notice. I wrote
+verbatim+
saveas(h1,'bug.ps')
-verbatim-
and the borders looked sometimes dashed and sometimes continuous. However, by 
converting that file to svg it could be seen that the borders are dashed.
