I see the same problem with the Octave app from ...

        http://octave.sourceforge.net/

DId you obtain your app from sourceforge?

I do not see this problem for Octave built from the developers sources, or from 
the old version from Fink.

I haven't tried, but I expect the 3.2.4 version form MacPorts works as well.
