Details:

See the attached script for an repeatable test case. I would expect it to
print a series of 'B' characters, but it prints instead e.g.
ans = ACBBCBBCBBACABBBAACBACAABBBAAAAC

This happens only when the first element of the struct array is not set.

I wrote this on octave 3.8.2, but JordiGH on #octave said it is also happening
on 4.0.3. He may or may not have taken a look at fixing it.
