Yes, that list is not used anymore, the preferred way to report bugs
is now the tracker at savannah:

with a very small modification your test works on my system:
----------------------------
$ ./test.sh
Octave version
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
GNU Octave, version 3.2.3
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/mkoctfile
mkoctfile, version 3.2.3

Setup hdir

Test in hdir
m - Hello world!

oct - Hello world!


Test in parent dir
m - Hello world!

oct - Hello world!
----------------------------

the modified script is attached below
