I did:

set label rotate
plot 'file' u 1:2:3 with labels

Should this be sufficient to make the labels vertical?  What
am I missing?

'set label' doesn't have any effect on the plotting style 'with labels',
and a 'set style labels ...' isn't existing up to now, so you have to
give the rotation angle within the plot command:

plot 'file' u 1:2:3 with labels rotate

see:

Then the help info is confusing, especially (see `set label`)
part.  I here quote:

gnuplot> help labels    
 The `labels` style is available only if gnuplot is built with
configuration
 option --enable-datastrings. For a 2-D plot with labels you
must specify
 3 input data columns; the text string found in the third
column is printed at
 the X and Y coordinates generated by the first two column
specifiers. The
 font, color, rotation angle and other properties of the
printed text may be
 specified as additional command options (see `set label`).
The example below
 will generate a 2-D plot with text labels taken from column 4
of the input
 file (`tc lt 2` is shorthand for `textcolor linetype 2`,
which is green).

maybe something like this should be added to the help text:

'labels' is a plotting style taking the same arguments like the
'set label' command.
