Details:

consider the hierarchy below with the same functions and methods and
definition for Myclass and pckg.Myclass.


./@Myclass/report_pi.m
./@Myclass/Myclass.m
./@Myclass/staticFunc1.m
./+pckg/@Myclass/report_pi.m
./+pckg/@Myclass/Myclass.m
./+pckg/@Myclass/staticFunc1.m
./test_Myclass.m


Executing test_Myclass.m with octave (stable and dev) gives this error
message


ver = 4.4.1
hg_id = 7a7c31b93216+
ans =  3
ans =  3.1416
ans =  3
error: subsref: unknown method or property: report_pi


the report_pi method is not found in package +pckg.
Remarkably the static function is found in both cases. 
The function definitions are below:


function val = report_pi(obj)
  val = pi;
end



function output = staticFunc1(arg1,arg2)
  output = arg1 + arg2;
end



classdef Myclass
   methods (Static)
      output = staticFunc1(arg1,arg2)
   end
end



% save script as test_Myclass.m
ver = version
hg_id = __octave_config_info__.hg_id
a = Myclass;
a.staticFunc1(1,2)
a.report_pi

b = pckg.Myclass;
b.staticFunc1(1,2)
b.report_pi
