I was just testing based on the package currently in unstable.

I hadn't seen your message when I wrote ine.

It seems that gnuplot doesn't use the wx macros which set things up so
that defining NDEBUG disables these checks.  The attached patch gets me
a gnuplot which runs without this noise (obviously addressing these
issues would be better, but wx3.0 with -DNDEBUG is basically what you
get with wx2.8 by default, so the need to use -DNDEBUG is no reason to
stick with wx2.8.
