Details:

SPM8's "nifti" class running in Matlab R2010a seems to make use of class()
function inside a class member method and it works fine in MATLAB, while in
Octave it gives the dreaded "class: invalid call from outside class
constructor" error. Is it safe to relax the constructor constraint on class()
to member-method constraint?

I'm attaching a minimalistic example code that runs fine in MATLAB R2010a but
fails with the error message above in Octave.
