Follow-up Comment #7:

I checked in the change here
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/845ec6f4fb96).  It would be
useful if you could adapt mwe.m as a BIST test.  Make sure to use 


%!test <*52810>


at the start of the test so it will be tagged as a regression if it ever
starts failing again.

Regarding conversion of the post-processing to an m-file, core Octave has
rather different constraints than the average user code.  In the case of the
core, we often do choose performance over other goals.  In this case, the code
is not amenable to conversion to an m-file because it contains a nested for
loop over 1) matches, and 2) tokens.  Loops in an interpreted language are
just very slow.
