Details:

I cannot think of a reason for these two results to be different. I would
expect the second result to be the same as the first.

octave:70> -0.5 .^ (2/3)
ans = -0.62996
octave:71> [-0.5] .^ [(2/3)]
ans = -0.31498 + 0.54556i


octave:72> abs(ans)
ans =  0.62996

I was unable to find similar reported bugs, or test with a newer version.
