I downloaded the gnuplot and a couple of tests. Few comments:
m-gnuplot is found before t-gnuplot on my system. I know that
m-gnuplot has been removed from the core packages, but I (and I guess
most people) update using ctxtools --update, which will not delete the
existing m-gnuplot. So, to ensure that the new module is loaded, you
must use
\usemodule[t][gnuplot]
I do not understand the need to create a batch file in Windows. I
understand the naming mess in gnuplot, but can't you follow the same
strategy as the bib module. That is allow the user to name the
command, something like
\setupgnuplot[program=wgnuplot|pgnuplot|whatever]

Please also include a demo file with the gnuplot module. If I
were seriously considering using gnuplot, a demo file will help a lot.
That will also allow you to find the syntax mistake in the
examples at the end. You should hae
\startGNUPLOTscript[exp] instead of
\startGNUPLOTscript{exp} (square brackets, instead of braces)

I will test it a bit more and then leave some feedback there also.
