The option you're looking for is NOBYLINE (found in Tech Report P-222, 6.07 Changes & Enhancements).  Set OPTIONS NOBYLINE when you want to suppress the standard BY line and use the #BY keywords in your titles instead.  Set OPTIONS BYLINE when you want to go back to using the standard BY lines.
 
It's been a few years since I tried using this option with graphics, but the behavior I remember seeing when I forgot to use NOBYLINE was that the #BY keywords were printed as-is in my titles, not that they were interpreted incorrectly.  I also recall finding that this feature did not seem to work properly with at least some graphics procedures, which sounds more like what you are seeing.  I'm afraid I can't recall all of the specifics, but I know I was on Windows 95 at the time, using 6.11 or 6.12, and I used mostly PROC GPLOT and COMPHISTOGRAM from SAS/QC PROC CAPABILITY.  I ended up giving up on the cool #BY features in those cases and living with the standard BY lines.
 
Good luck!

I have a dataset with measurements taken on SS at 7 time points. I'm using
GPLOT to crank out some graphs of these measurements at each time point.
 
So, I thought I would be smart and use By-Group processing and a "Time
point=#Byval1" in the title to get the time point for each graph
automatically. Problem is: All of the graphs have the same time point (the
last one in the dataset). I knows there's an option (queue??)
but I cannot recall it--a sign of aging?
 
Help would be appreciated.
