Follow-up Comment #1:

Octave, in general, is more careful about checking its inputs than Matlab. 
More often than not this is a good thing because it prevents Garbage
In/Garbage Out where you thought you were feeding something compatible to a
function but in fact were not.

In this case, Octave should not have allowed a cell as input.  The function
only works properly for character arrays and cellstrings.  I've checked in a
changeset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f89449967f0d) which
enforces this.
