Details:

Hello, consider the following code (the goal is to discard last element from
a matrix converting the matrix to a 1D vector):
octave:25> tst = rand(2)
tst =

   0.032879   0.616754
   0.752301   0.550359

octave:26> tst(4) = [] 
error: resize: Invalid resizing operation or ambiguous assignment to an
out-of-bounds array element.

However, 
octave:26> tst(3) = []
tst =

   0.032879   0.752301   0.550359
discards the "third" element

Moreover running
octave:28> tst = rand(2)
tst =

   0.72830   0.99564
   0.51382   0.24457

When I perform
octave:29> tst = tst(:);
octave:30> tst(4) = []
tst =

   0.72830
   0.51382
   0.99564

the 4th element gets discarded, as intended.

Therefore the first error is IMHO a bug.
