Octave wants to run startup configuration "wizard" in --no-gui mode

[Daniel J Sebald]

I think there has been a subtle change in Octave --no-gui behavior in 
the past ten or twenty changesets that wants to run the "first time use" 
configuration wizard.  It may be this changeset:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/6fe746def1aa
Also load settings and translations in --no-gui mode (bugs #44222 and 
#45199)

but I'm not sure because I haven't investigated too intently.  The 
ramification is that when building EPS, etc. files for the documentation 
during the build process, the wizard is launched.  I'm not sure if 
pausing build that way is desirable.  Can anyone confirm the change, 
expected or unexpected?
