I've updated Octave.app 4.4.0 beta5 to do this. When you download and 
run it, you should see an
empty list in "pkg list". Packages installed under Octave.app will not 
be visible to the Homebrewed
octave, and vice versa. The downside is that you'll need to reinstall 
all your packages under
Octave.app. But the upside is that neither of them will crash now.

Cheers,
