Scott,
Unfortunately, it does not work. What I find strange is that
twoway (scatter capture lngdpppp if year==1988 & group==1 || qfit
capture lngdpppp if year==1988 & group==1)
Works quite fine. But if I repeat the same thing for another year (on
the same figure) it does NOT work. But then if I take that another year
and plot it alone (just to check if something may be wrong with it), the
graph works again. O, it is only when they are together that the things
do not work. (On a related note, it seems to me that the new twoway
options have a fair number of bugs.)

You seem to be mixing the ||-separator and ()-binding notation.
Try this:
twoway (scatter capture lngdpppp if year==1988 & group==1) /// (qfit
capture lngdpppp if year==1988 & group==1) /// (scatter capture lngdpppp
if year==1998 & group==1) /// (qfit capture lngdpppp if year==1998 &
group==1)
Hope this helps,
Scott
