Sigh... I don't really watch the Ubuntu packages, and I'm not sure I
want to. I wish their BTS would forward the bugs to Debian when there
is no one in Ubuntu watching the package. The Debian packaging team,
Thomas, and I all work in Debian, and we evidently don't watch Ubuntu.
This bug is old, it's Ubuntu-specific, and it's the first time I hear
about it.

I'm going to subscribe pkg-octave-devel to the Octave Ubuntu bugs so
that at least we hear about them.

Also, I just asked around in #ubuntu-devel in IRC, and it looks like
the bug is fixed in the N-release, but present in the L and M
releases. It seems that Thomas patched it in Debian:

Colin Watson <address@hidden> in Freenode's #ubuntu-devel hinted
that he might backport the fix to older versions of Ubuntu.
