Follow-up Comment #1:

The hg-octave-dist target is only supposed to be used with
'--enable-octave=default'. So consequently the 'hg-octave-dist' target only
builds the default branch from the hg repo.

If you build with '--enable-octave=stable', it will build the 4.3.90 tarball
downloaded from alpha.gnu.org.

If you think it should be able to also build a snapshot of the stable branch,
that is a new feature request, not a bug.
