Follow-up Comment #2:

I took a look.  The problem is clearly the missing final bracket.  Octave
believes it is still in the middle of defining a matrix when it encounters the
END-OF-FILE marker.  

The parser has undergone a lot of work on the development branch and the
problem has been fixed there.  Unfortunately the changes are so large that
they can't easily be backported to the stable branch.

So, we won't fix this bug on stable, but it will be fixed by the next major
release of Octave (3.8.0 or 4.0.0).
