That's because the output from the system command does not come back
to Octave to go through the pager and diary system.  It just goes to
the standard output.

Maybe what you want is something like the script command?


SCRIPT(1)                 BSD General Commands Manual                SCRIPT(1)

NAME
     script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
     script [-a] [-c COMMAND] [-f] [-q] [-t] [file]

DESCRIPTION
     Script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.  It is
     useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session
     as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out
     later with lpr(1).
