Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed on a recent development tip (10/12/2012).

The syntax you are using is correct.  There is a bug in the parser.  It should
treat the newline ("\n") as the equivalent of ";" when deciding whether to
place the next element in either the following column or in a new row.

I'm lowering the severity level since there is a current workaround of always
using the ";" to indicate that a new row is desired.

Perhaps this is related, but it only happens with cell arrays.  The following
code which uses matrices for the inner element, works.


 a = {
> [
> 1
> 2
> ]
> [
> 3
> 4
> ]
> }
