Very strange.  The z range should be totally irrelevant to "set view map".
z as a coordinate doesn't matter because it's in projection.
z as an image pixel value doesn't matter because the image grid doesn't
care about the pixel value, only the number of pixels.

But you're right, it does seem to make a difference in this case
For instance:
    gnuplot> splot $MATRIX matrix  using ($1*266.6):($2*199.9090909090909):3 title "" with image
         warning: Visible pixel grid has a scan line longer than previous scan lines.
    gnuplot> splot $MATRIX matrix  using ($1*266.6):($2*199.9090909090909):(0):3 title "" with image
         works with no problem

But opening up the z range explicitly does not fix the problem.
So I still don't understand exactly what's going on here. 

	I'll look harder tomorrow,
