I agree, that's why I prefaced my comments with...

Since plotting is inherently much more number-heavy than text-heavy,  
this may never be an issue for plplot.  On the other hand, if it ever  
did arise, it would be nice to have a single unified approach for  
passing an array of strings instead of two different ways.

Another argument for keeping it char ** would be inertia.  It's  
already written this way ("designer's choice") so don't change it  
unless there is a compelling reason.
