Follow-up Comment #2:

There wasn't any saving of the single precision type in the matlab format
till it was added after the bug report #30800 (see
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30800). I made a slight error in this previous
fix that prevented single precision arrays with an odd number of elements
being saved. The size of the data to save needs to be an integer number of 8
bytes long with 4 bytes of padding if needed (and it was), but the length of
the data element saved in the header of the element didn't take this into
account.

The changeset

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/a4822f3d1032

addresses this. As this fixes this bug report for me I'm closing it.

D.

PS. I added the reporter of bug #30800 in copy to this message so that he is
aware of the issue.
