Update of bug #52071 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

Would we really want to change this behavior?

1. chdir(dir) or cd(dir) → no warning

I could cd to a directory just to look at things, and then cd back out,
without ever having any intention to execute the flip.m m-file.  I think it
might be annoying to get lots of false positive warnings about m-files which
are not really problems.

I second Mike's experiments in that the GUI and the CLI both reproduce the
same set of warnings under the same set of circumstances.

I also can reproduce the difference between a compiled function and an m-file.
 That seems small, so I lowered the priority, but worth fixing if it would be
easy to do so.
