Thanks Ray!

So fltk and qt do it right and gnuplot does it wrong...

I don't know if this is classified wrong.  The gnuplot toolkit accepts 'y' as yellow, but that is not a valid color in Octave (and Matlab?) definitions (only 'k' 'r' 'g' 'b' 'm' 'c' 'w'). That's along the same lines that Octave accepts "endwhile" as syntax whereas Matlab would throw and error.  In both cases, different behavior for syntax not defined.  It would be easy to change 'y' to black for gnuplot toolkit, but I don't know if it makes a difference one way or another.

'y' is also the shortcut for yellow in Matlab:

So, Octave should support 'y' in all graphics toolkits.

​I think the issue here is that marker "point" (.) is defferent from all other symbols.

It is kind of a singularity that does not have an internal structure (like border/Face).

So setting its borders to black makes entire marker black.
