The question is should \input kn MkIV behave like it did in MkII
or should it take subdirectories into account.

What behaviour do you want?

I would expect when I load a file it should found in the current  
directory
or the TeX tree but not in subdirectories, when you want to take  
subdirectory
searching I would use something like

\setupgnuplot[directory={,myplots/}]

\def\inputgnuplotfile#1%
   {\!!donefalse
    \def\doinputgnuplotfile##1%
      {\doiffileelse{##1#1}
         {\readlocalfile{##1#1}{}{}\!!donetrue\quitcommalist}
         {\!!donefalse}}
    \processcommacommand[\gnuplotparameter{directory}] 
\doinputgnuplotfile
    \!!ifdone\message{gnuplot}{...}\else\message{gnuplot}{file #1 not  
found}\fi}
