Ah yes, thanks Ben. So there is no Matlab compatibility to compare
with here, having a script that defines a function at all is an Octave
extension.

So back to your original script Vic, the strict answer is that your
script is not compatible with Matlab, therefore your use of nested
functions in that way is not supported :)

However, I notice that functions defined at the command line in Octave
*do* support nested functions. So if you eval or paste the contents of
the script at the command line, it should work. So a case could still
be made for supporting nested functions in Octave everywhere that
ordinary functions are supported.
