It works for me.

For you to debug why it is not working on your system, I guess you
need to find out what key sequence Octave (really readline) sees when
you press the up arrow on your keyboard?

No, it's not intentional.  So this problem won't be forgotten, will
you please submit a bug report for it?

Thanks,
