Latex tabular input in epslatex terminal of gnuplot makes border disappear

Suppose I have the file table.tex

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
1 & 2 \\ \hline
3 & 4 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}

This basically is a 2 by 2 table with some numbers.

I can compile it like that, and see borders on any side of the table

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\input{table.tex}
\end{document}

Now I have the following gnuplot script (tested with 4.6.2 and 4.6.5)

set terminal epslatex standalone solid
set output "out.tex"
set label '\input{table.tex}' at 1,1
plot x

Then I get the following Sample output

In other words, my borders have disappeared. How can I solve that?

That is a limitation of the minimal documentclass which is used by the epslatex terminal in standalone mode. The following works fine:

Main file out-main.tex:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\input{out}
\end{document}

and the gnuplot script

set terminal epslatex solid

set output "out.tex"
set label at 1,1 '\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \
\hline \
1 & 2 \\ \hline \
3 & 4 \\ \hline \
\end{tabular}'

plot x
set output
system("latex out-main && dvips out-main && ps2pdf out-main.ps")

gives
