Follow-up Comment #1:

Thank you for your bug report. I'm not sure what you think the bug is, but it
would be helpful if you looked a little deeper and explain what you think an
expected result is versus what result Octave returns.

These sub-expressions are definitely not the same thing


(8 - 3 * sqrt (21)) ^ (1/3)

-abs (8 - 3 * sqrt (21)) ^ (1/3)


because the exponent operator is evaluated before the leading negative
operator. I think you may have meant


(-abs (8 - 3 * sqrt (21))) ^ (1/3)


Closing this report as invalid. If you have questions about using Octave,
please use the help mailing list
(https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-octave) instead of filing a bug
report.
