Try:
    set xlabel \detokenize{"h\\'ello"}
Actually, one needs to escape backslash in gnuplot (that's a general
rule). I'm sorry for not noticing that fact before.

Just keep in mind that \detokenize is an ugly workaround (you could
consider it a bug in t-gnuplot.tex, but I have no idea how to fix it).

It would be easiest if
\startbuffer[name][continue/append]
some werbatim text
\stopbuffer
would work - then I would misuse that mechanism instead of doing dirty
catcode changes. (I also need to ask either magician for help to port
that part to mkiv; in XeTeX it seems to work OK.)
