There isn't any chance of there being multiple copies of either pango or
plplot on the system, does there?  If so there's always a chance that
different versions are being picked up by the dynamic linker.  I can't
imagine how that might come about (excepting the inclusion of relative paths
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH which isn't generally a good idea) but it's a thought. 
If something like this was happening I would expect it to be evident through
the use of ldd:

  cd /home/hbabcock/OpenSource/plplot-working/plplot-CBS-1
  ldd /home/hbabcock/C/plplot_test/test1

  cd /home/hbabcock/C/plplot_test
  ldd ./test1

It's a very strange problem.  Is anything revealed by running test1 through
strace in the two scenarios?
