Follow-up Comment #3:

Hmmm.... I see that there *IS* a .csv check in xlsread - I must have put it in
years ago an forgot all about it :-)

OK I'll have a look.
The issue is that xlsopen() gets a first chance to run before csvread is even
in the picture. 
When there's Excel around, the usual ridiculous overhead of invoking that will
work properly that way and Excel reads the .csv, exactly like Matlab does (or
did, maybe they improved it like intended in our xlsread).
But I never tested w/o Excel. In such a case xlsopen.m doesn't know what to do
with .csv and bails out somewhere.

Easy fix at first sight.

=> reopening / in progress

(Thanks for your gentle persistence Avinoam :-) )
