Details:

The size of an empty struct (struct([])) changes when saved in MATLAB binary
data format:

octave> A=struct([])
A =
  0x0 struct array containing the fields:

octave> isempty(A)
ans = 1            
octave> size(A)
ans =
   0   0
octave> save A.mat A -mat
octave> load A.mat
octave> A
A =
  scalar structure containing the fields:

octave> isempty(A)
ans = 0
octave> size(A)
ans =
   1   1
