A fourth item is merited.

(4) Matlab does not support plot3(x, y + 1i*z) as equivalent to  
plot3(x, y, z). While useful. this Octave feature makes compatibility  
with Matlab difficult.

It would appear a significant rewrite of plot3 is merited. What is the  
preference? ... shall the corrected version attempt to be backward  
compatible *and* respect Matlab, or it is sufficient to respect  
Matlab's plot3?
